rsync error - help running a test backup to remote server
by axolinx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BJVZ)
Hi guys.
I am learning to use rsync.
Right now the project is moving a VPS server to another remote VPS.
I followed the tutorials online and came up with this command:
Code:rsync -auHxv -numeric-ids -exclude=/etc/fstab -exclude=/etc/network/* -exclude=/proc/* -exclude=/tmp/* -exclude=/sys/* -exclude=/dev/* -exclude=/mnt/* -exclude=/boot/* -exclude=/root/* root@2xx.xxx.0.xxx:/* /and this is what i get:
https://prnt.sc/w1cy7k
i can see the /root directory on the source server, why is the command complaining about it not being found?
