backup some folder

hi

i try to backup my home dir (only some folder) with rsync.

i use include and exclude possibility.

In a script file i have

Code:

BDIR=/home/$USER
DEST=/run/media/bob/Lexar

rsync --no-owner --no-group -a -r -v --delete --prune-empty-dirs -delete --delete-excluded --include-from=$INCLUDES --exclude-from=$EXCLUDES  $BDIR $DEST

it seem like every time i run this script that take a long time...even if nothing has changed in the bdir

any idea?

thanks

see man rsync, look for -n, -v, -i

n it's for doing a trial
i it's for display a change of all update

yes, and you will see what will try to do rsync. And probably that will help you to understand why does it take so long (probably scanning a lot of files/dirs)?

problem is not really that take time... problem is why that backup file who has not been modified
