Ideas what to backup

Start high and exclude folders

start with /opt and create .exclude_from_backup in folders, that shouldn't be saved.

mount --bind

alternatively mount --bind /folder1 /folder2 or in /etc/fstab -- /folder1 /folder2 none bind to survive reboot Beide ordner müssen existieren. der erste wird in den zweiten gemountet.
