|    Trivial Backup dilemma    |
|    02 Feb 26 22:32:35    |
      From: pinnerite@gmail.com              I rsync my main drive to backups.              However I am a bit messy at filing documents, just keeping them in       temporary places, like "Downloads" for example. Eventually I Will       decide to create one or more directories and move stuff into them.              When I backup of course, the new directories (and contents) will be       copied but the originals will remain on the backup drive. It would       time-consuming to go through the backup drive, work out what had been       duplicated and delete the original files.              In the past, because I have multiple backups, I would delete all the       contents of a backup drive before backing up to it again.              That though is time consuming and seems like using a hammer to crack a       nut.                     --       Linux Mint 22.1 kernel version 6.8.0-84-generic Cinnamon 6.4.8       AMD Ryzen 7 7700, Radeon RX 6600, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD, 2TB Barracuda              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
