[nmglug] rsync, what the hey?

[a]

Jared

thanks for the reply I took the easy way out with permissions used sudo 
nautilius. although it did dredge up shadow of the past with chmod.

If you have the inclination can you illustrate rsync suggestions by 
referring to the terminal output below in this email. I created a backup 
folder. but get the following"  "Can anyone explain, attachment .png of 
uuid info. error seems to be between /media/a/uuid and a "switch"  
occurs /media/uuid, what the hey/"

and this error message: "rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at 
main.c(675) [Receiver=3.1.2] "

If the problem is to messy to decipher I will concur. Then thanks all 
the same, congrats on the new club. Best, a
