  • I suggest you review the rsync man page for options. I have had great success using the -gloptruncv option to do a dry run and then after trouble shooting any issues run -gloptrucv. Remember you are going to need root(sudo) privileges to backup a complete file system.

If media is mounted you can use the "-x" or " --one-file-system " of rsync
otherwise try 



rsync -a --exclude=media /media/dave/DEE-NOW/#1AA-linuxmint19/RSYNC_SYS_BACKUP/

  • ok, thanks, but do i have to run the terminal from the root folder to run this command properly? well, i ran the command with -a (copied it from here)...and rsync -x and still did not work. i have root privileges. just get drwxrwxrwx.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
