The mmv utility is used to move, copy, append and rename files in bulk using standard wildcards in Unix-like operating systems. It is available in the default repositories of Debian-based systems.
fd is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not seek to mirror all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for 80% of the use cases.
Features
Convenient syntax: fd PATTERN instead of find -iname '*PATTERN*'.
Colorized terminal output (similar to ls).
It's fast (see benchmarks below).
Smart case: the search is case-insensitive by default. It switches to case-sensitive if the pattern contains an uppercase character*.
Ignores hidden directories and files, by default.
Ignores patterns from your .gitignore, by default.
Regular expressions.
Unicode-awareness.
The command name is 50% shorter* than find :-).
Parallel command execution with a syntax similar to GNU Parallel.

CryFS encrypts your files, so you can safely store them anywhere. It works well together with cloud services like Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive and others.

This article is about using rsync to transfer a copy of your "/" tree, excluding a few select folders. This approach is considered to be better than disk cloning with dd since it allows for a different size, partition table and filesystem to be used, and better than copying with cp -a as well, because it allows greater control over file permissions, attributes, Access Control Lists (ACLs) and extended attributes.
Despite the best planning, it eventually happens. You start to run out of space on your linux system. While there are many different ways to copy files from one hard drive to another, some work better than others when transferring the full / directory. Below I will outline a method I have used about 50 times to transfer full systems and partitions from one machine to another.
