my inner geek

When developing stuff, configuring systems, or simply working with computers, I come across obstacles that can be solved easily once you know the solution. But finding the solution can take ages. In this blog, I am collecting the solutions for some of the technical problems that I encounter.

HDD backup with rsync

Just switched from Windows 7 built-in backup to rsync (using cwrsync).

Initially, backing up 88k files, 212 GB, to an external HDD (connected via USB2), took 9h 26 mins (383 MB/min).

Running rsync again (only a few browser-related files had changed), took 2h or so.
