I know some of the basics of working in command line on the Mac.
To save hard disk space on my Mac I store a large proportion on an external hard drive and back up that hard drive to another external drive.
I would like to use rsync to periodically backup my main external hadrive minus Time Machine back over to the other hard drive and when I delete something from my main external drive rsync should also take this into account.
Here is my rsync script.
Here is my exclude-from.txt
Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.
