   I use rsync as two streams for  / partition as root and /home for all user   
   areas.   
      
   See below scripts :   
      
   Home :   
      
   #!/bin/bash   
   time rsync -avvuhh --stats --delete --exclude=/home/vince/Music2 /home   
   /home/vince/Music2/Backups > rsync-home.log 2>rsync-home.err   
   exit 0   
      
      
   Boot:   
      
   #!/bin/bash   
   time rsync -avvuhh --stats --delete --exclude=/dev --exclude=/proc   
   --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/run --exclude=/tmp --exclude=/home --exclude=/media   
   --exclude=/sys / /home/vince/Music2/Backups/SSD-Mageia-v7-HDD > rsync-root.log   
   2>rsync-root.err   
   exit 0   
      
      
   Mind you trying to make an image of the boot (/) back up to another drive (a   
   SSD) mounted as /mnt/disk1 does not work as it create a directory 2 with 2   
   blocks of restored data as / and disk1 both in the directory I am running it   
   from.   
      
   Mounted devices :   
      
   $ df   
   Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on   
   /dev/sdc3        88G   18G   66G  22% /mnt/disk1   
   /dev/sda9       992G  607G  335G  65% /home   
   /dev/sdb1       2.7T  873G  1.9T  32% /home/vince/Music2   
      
   I have ommitted some systems.
