Scenario:
I would want to copy my / to /mnt, and to avoid recursion exclude /mnt.
cp -avx / /mnt
If i use the above i believe it would run recursively, and end up in mess. So how to do it ?!
Basically this / is sda1, and /mnt is sda2 and sda1 is where only OS is available & currently booted.
Ultimately, my question is how to backup a path, by excluding a specific directory.
I cannot boot in Live CD and copy. Anybody have experience in doing this, and have some efficient way to do this ?
