I am quite unsure with all options of rsync. Here my backup configuration: I am on Mac X (10.8) and want an exact copy of my HD to an external HD. I formatted the new USB drive with Mac OS extended (Journaled, Encrypted) and made in my shell the following command and got the following errors:
Code:
sudo rsync -a / /Volumes/backup_2013/
Password:
rsync: opendir "/dev/fd/3" failed: Bad file descriptor (9)
file has vanished: "/Users/mstep/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.DiskUtility.savedState/data.data"
file has vanished: "/Users/mstep/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.DiskUtility.savedState/window_1.data"
file has vanished: "/Users/mstep/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.DiskUtility.savedState/window_2.data"
file has vanished: "/Users/mstep/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.DiskUtility.savedState/windows.plist"
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-42/rsync/main.c(992) [sender=2.6.9]
I think, this is due to the fact, that I was working while this very long backup was running. And probably there were some temporary files of the format just before I run the backup ...
My questions:
1. Is this the good option (rsync -a) for the first backup?
2. Is for the following backups `rsync -a --delete HD/ backup` right?
3. Is it possible to make the backup bootable (it is password protected)?
Thank you for your hints!

Hi every body,
Is it possible to connect two servers Back-to-Back (Point-to-Point) using HBA adapters & using Fiber.
Note it is direct connection & there is no switches between the servers.
I'm concern about using HBA adapters, it is possible or not.
Thanks in advance. :) (3 Replies)
