Clone two mount point question about yarsync

[ynikitenko]

Greetings,

did you try rsnapshot? I think if your configuration is stable (you hard disk is mounted at the same point, you run backups through a script), it may be an ideal solution for your task.

yarsync better suits for manual changes. For high-level precious repositories (for example, a collection of books, not just of all files on a drive).

You can have an rsync filter (see the manual) in your local repository. If I'm not mistaken, you can add path to backup in the configuration and run yarsync push (or yarsync push --new, if the previous command fails). In that case your filter will be taken into account. Be careful not to push to the origin from the clone, because it will ignore the filter at the origin! (or create the same filter at the clone, but this doesn't seem like a good construct, and filters are in general discouraged).

@SweetthD3ViL were you successful? Do you have other questions / feature requests, should we close this one?

[SweetthD3ViL]

I haven't had the time to look into it but I certainly will.

Yes, you can close this one.

And again thank you for your reply and advice.

You are welcome. Thanks for raising these questions, they may be important for the future program development! Feel free to reopen this or create new issues.

And one more thing: you can just use rsync with its filters, if you have only two file structures!
