On: The various scripts I use to back up my home computers using SSH and rsync

[gary_0]

I use MSYS2 on Windows in order to run regular rsync and other such utilities. It's served me very well for years. I also have some bash scripts that I can conveniently run on either Linux or Windows via MSYS2.

I switched from Cygwin+rsync(over ssh) to robocopy+samba to speed up backups (up to saturating 1Gbit connection):

    for %i in (C D) do robocopy %i:\ \\backup-server\b-%COMPUTERNAME%\%i /MIR /DCOPY:T /NFL /NDL /R:0 /W:1 /XJ /XD "System Volume Informatiowsn" /XD "$RECYCLE.BIN" /XD "Windows" /XD "Windows.old"
