hard drive - How to best backup a server HDD to a secondary HDD - Ask Ubuntu
i have server configuration:
os: ubuntu server 16.04 hdd1: 1tb <system> hdd2: 1tb <empty>
i backup on hdd1 onto hdd2.
ideally mirror image of first drive , things either manually or on schedule.
backup purposes not raid.
i'm considering using rsync
backup /
directory.
i'm unsure if that's idea.
what optimal way of backing drive this?
rsync
job. has advantage of being able boot backup drive , restore files simple copy. conventional tools tar
, dump
have advantage of being able compress data can fit more incremental backups , go further in time restore modified or deleted file.
