My data is very important for me. So I wanted to backup a large folder from my fileserver to a USB-disk. I know I could take the disk to my fileserver and plug it in, but I’m lazy.
So with the following command I managed to backup my 230GB folder.
rsync -e ssh -avr tijs@192.168.0.104:/mnt/disk2/work /Volumes/Backups/Edit the command below for your needs:
rsync -e ssh -avr remote-username@remote-ip:/folder /Volumes/USB-disk-name/You could drop the “v”-option, so it won’t output each filename in your terminal.
