Worth remembering
bash-magic
- Concatenate all files in (sub-)folders and prefix with filename:
find . -type f -printf \\n=====NEW\ FILE:\ %f====\\n -exec cat {} \; > ../onefile.txt
vi(m)
~/.vimrc
set number set tabstop=4 set shiftwidth=4
Append to your files
# vim:tabstop=4:shiftwidth=4:autoindent
Instead of rsync
Copying a remote folder to a local disk
ssh root@OLDSYSTEM "cd /; tar cf - etc" |tar xvf -
Creating a local tar from a remote folder
ssh dtr tar czf - /mnt/boot > mnt_boot.tgz
Optional: --one-file-system # not sure this is correct, maybe try this:
ssh dtr tar czf --exclude /mnt/var --exclude /mnt/boot - /mnt > mnt_root.tgz
Creating a local dump from a remote folder
ssh dtr "/sbin/dump -0a -b 256 -z9 -f - /dev/sdc3" > mnt_root.dump
