backup on WD passport fails midway
I've been trying to backup to a new WD passport external hard drive; stops midway indicating "dev/snd/seq calculating checksum". I've partitioned the drive for linux.

That said, you don't need to back up the /dev directory AT ALL...those things are created dynamically. Similarly, there's little need to back up system directories (since if your system dies, you reload Linux), nor is there need to back up /tmp, /var, or other things, besides your /home folder. You *MAY* want to back up some things in /etc, since that's where your service-specific files are kept, to keep you from having to reconfigure services later. But that's only if you've edited any of them. |
Weird. Isn't snd a sound device thing?
Are you backing up to a usb sound card? |
