backup ``/sys`` or ``/dev`` on a Linux system:
|
filesystem boundaries when performing a backup.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, if you backup ``/`` with this option and you have external
|
||||||
|
media mounted under ``/media/usb`` then restic will not back up ``/media/usb``
|
||||||
|
at all because this is a different filesystem than ``/``. Virtual filesystems
|
||||||
|
such as ``/proc`` are also considered different and thereby excluded when
|
||||||
|
using ``--one-file-system``:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code-block:: console

.. code-block:: console

$ restic -r /srv/restic-repo backup --one-file-system /
|
$ restic -r /srv/restic-repo backup --one-file-system /
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please note that this does not prevent you from specifying multiple filesystems
|
||||||
|
on the command line, e.g:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ restic -r /srv/restic-repo backup --one-file-system / /media/usb
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
will back up both the ``/`` and ``/media/usb`` filesystems, but will not
|
||||||
|
include other filesystems like ``/sys`` and ``/proc``.
