  • 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.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
