Best rsync options for Mint mirror

Post by hexter »

Hi.

I've set-up a Linux Mint mirror and would like to know which are the best rsync options for it.

Right now I'm using

Code: Select all

rsync -a --delete --delete-after pub.linuxmint.com::pub /path/to/linuxmint
The mirror is located at http://hex1a4.net/c/code/mirror/linuxmint/

Thank you. Have a great day.

Hi,

personally, I use a backup rather than a mirror ( to avoid a file corruption or a rogue deletion being mirrored back into the primary version)

I use rsync -ruv to
-v, --verbose increase verbosity
-r, --recursive recurse into directories
-u, --update skip files that are newer on the receiver

Open to suggestions/improvements on this choice.
