I use rsync as two streams for  / partition as root and /home for all user
areas.

See below scripts :

Home :

#!/bin/bash
time rsync -avvuhh --stats --delete --exclude=/home/vince/Music2 /home
/home/vince/Music2/Backups > rsync-home.log 2>rsync-home.err
exit 0


Boot:

#!/bin/bash
time rsync -avvuhh --stats --delete --exclude=/dev --exclude=/proc
--exclude=/mnt --exclude=/run --exclude=/tmp --exclude=/home --exclude=/media
--exclude=/sys / /home/vince/Music2/Backups/SSD-Mageia-v7-HDD > rsync-root.log
2>rsync-root.err
exit 0


Mind you trying to make an image of the boot (/) back up to another drive (a
SSD) mounted as /mnt/disk1 does not work as it create a directory 2 with 2
blocks of restored data as / and disk1 both in the directory I am running it
from.

Mounted devices :

$ df
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc3        88G   18G   66G  22% /mnt/disk1
/dev/sda9       992G  607G  335G  65% /home
/dev/sdb1       2.7T  873G  1.9T  32% /home/vince/Music2

I have ommitted some systems.
