What's wrong with my backup?
by gregors from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57HHD)
Hi there!
I used to make weekly backups with rsync, that was under Debian 7 and Slackware 14.
A few weeks ago I installed Debian 10 and made a fresh complete backup of my home directory to a new 4 TB USB disk using 'cp -arv /home /media/backup' and went on using my backup script.
Yesterday I had to restore some files and saw that my rsync script seems to ignore directorys if they are hidden, e.g.
Code:~/.ausgaben/Did the default globbing setting change between Debian 7 and Debian 10? Does globbing differ between root and user account?
The rsync command in my backup script is
Code:rsync -auvEhs --log-file=/usr/local/var/log/gregors_backup-log --exclude=lost+found/ --exclude=platz/ /home/gszaktilla /media/backup/home/gszaktillaTIA

PS:
The log file entry says
Code:2020/08/28 19:19:58 [6916] >f.st...... gszaktilla/.ausgaben/ausgaben.txtand it seems my local documentation doesn't mention the meaning of that '>f.st......' stuff. So, WTF is going on here?
