I meant that ReaR will have to be enhanced to somehow deal with newer systemd's "hidden" libraries. We have some code to include systemd into the ReaR recovery system and...

@nnachtegael usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf reads ``` # To have a specific working area directory prefix for Relax-and-Recover call # export TMPDIR="/prefix/for/rear/working/directory" # before calling 'rear' (/prefix/for/rear/working/directory must already exist). ``` see https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/rear-2.7/usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf#L55

It "just works" for me with ``` OUTPUT=USB BACKUP=NETFS BACKUP_URL=usb:///dev/disk/by-label/REAR-000 ``` I.e. I do the backup with 'tar' not with 'rsync' because I am not a 'rsync' user. And I...

I cannot help with 'rsync' specific issues because I am not a 'rsync' user. I assume it does not matter regarding TMPDIR if 'tar' or 'rsync' is used. I don't...

Right now I replaced '.' by 'source' via https://github.com/rear/rear/commit/f3de9e84949f181b5eb8ab8a1e702e87c5d236d5

@Spadille1337 do you have separated fully compatible replacement hardware (or a replacement VM if you currently use a VM) available where you could risklessly try out step by step how...

@jarppiko regarding "I would rather just save the list of packages (Ubuntu) installed and 'recover' those by reinstalling those": We have currently the backup methods BACKUP=ZYPPER (for SUSE) and BACKUP=YUM...

Technically it behaves as btrfs behaves. For btrfs a subvolume means for 'tar' with '--one-file-system' that the btrfs subvolume is not included. If we changed that we would make things...

Offhandedly I may agree that there should not be a different behavior if /somedir is a btrfs subvolume or if it is a separate filesystem but when I think about...
