I use a small script to backup my files to the flash disk. Some flash disks when mounted automatically have a space in the path (/media/USB DISK for example).
My script works when there is no space but fails when there is a space.
I read about symbolic links, and tried to create one in the bash script without success.
Here is my script which works with a KINGSTON flash disk...
(I transfer my python source code to/from the office on my flash disk each day using this script.)
echo '------------------------------'
echo ' 1. Send to flash disk'
echo ' 2. Update from flash disk'
echo '------------------------------'
echo -e 'Selection (1,2): \c'
read sel
if [ $sel = '1' ]; then
source='/home/xpData/programing/'
target='/media/KINGSTON/programing/'
else
source='/media/KINGSTON/programing/'
target='/home/xpData/programing/'
fi
echo $source
echo $target
rsync -nuvr --exclude-from=excluded_files $source $target
echo -e 'Continue (y/n): \c'
read ans
if [ $ans = 'y' ]; then
echo 'Updating'
rsync -tur --exclude-from=excluded_files $source $target
else
echo 'Cancelled'
fi
