Hi,
many thanks for your request. I will try to answer your questions one by one
- What directories are backed up?
- dietpi-backup will do a complete system back or restore of the Linux RootFS file-system (/) using rsync
- Is it possible to add/exclude directories?
- yes, thats possible. There is an option inside dietpi-backup called Custom Filters
- Every time it runs, the previous backup is replaced for the new backup?
- there is basically just one backup. A new run of dietpi-backup will copy changed or updated files only, like an incremental backup. Therefore it’s much faster than the initial one
- The default backup directory is
/mnt/dietpi-backup/. Can i change it in order to do the backup to an external drive?
- yes, taget file system can be changed. There is an option inside dietpi-backup called Location
