-a

rsync -avz /home/cashmere/ /run/media/cashmere/games/fedora_home/

Erklärung:

• -a: Archiv-Modus (behält Rechte, Zeitstempel, etc.)
• -v: Verboser Modus (zeigt was kopiert wird)
• -z: Komprimierung während der Übertragung

Tipp: Vor dem ersten Lauf mit -n (dry-run) testen:

rsync -avzn /home/cashmere/ /run/media/cashmere/games/fedora_home/

Suggestions

1. Run a dry run before just copying over, to check if its everything you really want to copy or if you have done a mistake while declaring your command.

Example commands

sudo rsync -az --info=progress2 /home/ /run/media/cashmere/games/fedora_home/
