Greetings,
I'm trying to use rsync with cron to do a nightly mirror of all data
from a tower's primary internal drive to a second internal drive on
the same machine.
This is the command I'm using:
/usr/bin/rsync -a --delete /Volumes/Drive_1/* /Volumes/Drive_2
It is mirroring the data. but it's mirroring /*...and not /Volumes/Drive_1/*
The second drive has all of /Volumes/Drive_1/* plus all of
Volumes/*....such that Drive_2 has two copies of Drive_1: one at it's
root level and the other as a mirror of itself
(/Volumes/Drive_2/Volumes/Drive_2)
How can I make rsynch mirror only the contents of Drive_1 to Drive_2?
Am I overlooking something?
TIA,
--Mike
