CentOS - Jun 2015 - using rsync to sync desktop /home/user of to laptop /home/user

greetings,

i want to sync my desktop home directory to my laptop home
directory. i am using KDE for desktop.

a problem that i foresee is the different screens between the 2.

i synced using;

  rsync -a -u -v -e ssh /home/geo geo at 192.168.1.5:/home/geo.new

with intent of in laptop's /home;

  mv geo geo.org
  mv geo.new geo

what files and directories in 'org' directory need to be copied
to the 'new' directory so that i will maintain screen setup in
laptop?

thanks in advance.

Hi,

   I'm using unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) to do this.
It can
sync in both ways if files are changed on both sides between syncs.

   And, IMHO it's better to filter out the directories that contain
configuration
for the systems, or better, sync only the documents and other pertinent files.

   Att.,

         Antonio.

i did not recognize the site, but when i connected to it and started
to bookmark it, i saw that i already had it bookmarked.

in checking, i found that it was from 2009-0514-09:08 pm when i ran
a search for backup and recovery sites.

i pulled the docs and tar file to check out later.

i agree, and i have already started writing scripts for both desktop
and laptop to sync just the common, _non_unique_ directories and files.

so, back to my original question, worded differently.

what directories and files should not be copied so that configs for
desktop/laptop do not corrupt configs for laptop/desktop screen?

i am presuming that '.KDE' is one of them, and what else?

i can got thru all directories and files, which would take time and
is what i am wanting to avoid. call me lazy. ;-)
