Backup of the data partition (/data/*) with rsync. We have a Drobo box with 8TB of space mounted to /backup. The stand-alone box
    physically resides in the L2 main server room

$ sudo rsync -asvv /data /backup/Drobo/CCG_Ubuntu/


Mar. 13, 2013
Backup of the system files (/*) minus /data and other temp files (/backup is excluded to avoid an infinite loop).

$ rsync -aAXv /* /backup/Drobo/CCG_Ubuntu --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/backup/*, /data/*,/media/*,/lost+found,/home/*/.gvfs}
