This post includes a short snippet to copy your entire Raspberry Pi filesystem to Windows using Rsync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Copying and Archiving particular directories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to rsync specific directories rather than the entire Raspberry Pi I suggest you read my previous blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It details how to backup a Raspberry Pi using Rsync and automatically archive and compress the backup<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However if you wish to quickly copy the entire filesystem for a short term backup read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copying the whole Raspberry Pi filesystem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To copy the entire filesystem you can use the following rsync command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

rsync -av pi@192.168.1.100:\/* --exclude={\"\/dev\/\",\"\/proc\/<\/em>\",\"\/sys\/\",\"\/tmp\/<\/em>\",\"\/run\/*\",\"\/lost+found\"} .<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Here -av<\/code> is passed to rsync to run in verbose mode and print out the operations it is performing and to tell it to run in archive mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The files I want to copy are indicated by pi@192.168.1.100:\/*<\/code> and mean that I am copying with the user pi<\/code> from the Raspberry Pi with the IP address of 192.168.1.100<\/code>. The final :\/*<\/code> means that all the files under the root of the filesystem will be copied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exclude flags specifically tell it to ignore the given list of directories. These are folders which do not contain useful files to back up and so are ignored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
