I have written a rsync-based system backup for my Linux system. The aim is to be able to redeploy the system entirely from the saves, so I don't only backup homedirs. I have excluded a few top-level directories from the backup: /proc
, /sys
, /mnt
, /tmp
.
I wonder whether I can exclude /run
and still be able to get a viable save? I observe that it takes a lot of disk space on my backup disk (mostly with /run/shm
).
