Hi a,<br>
<br>
Yeah, I was trying to just explain that you want to include -r
whether you use rsync -acr or rsync -Prvvac<br>
<br>
-r is handy for backing up an entire computer/folder with
subfolders.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

To make your command work, just remove the --dry-run.<br>
<br>
I would probably add the -r for recursive.<br>
<br>
So this is what I recommend. <br>
<br>
First, start out in a empty backup folder. Create one if you
don't want to remove the /backup folder.<br>
<br>
Then run this :<br>
<br>
rsync -Prvvac /home/a/
/media/a/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup<br>
<br>
That's a safer option, as long as the destination is empty. It
will also look for subfolders. Includes the . files and doesn't
delete anything in destination.<br>
<br>
Why your original command didn't work is a simple typo.<br>
<br>
You had this<br>
/media/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup<br>
<br>
When it should have been this:<br>
/media/a/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup<br>
<br>
Notice the /a/ after /media<br>
<br>

Hi a,<br>
<br>
Does this work?<br>
<br>
rsync -av --dry-run --delete --exclude=".*/" /home/a/
/media/a/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup<br>
<br>
I would probably run that as this.<br>
<br>
sudo rsync -Prvvac /home/path /desination/path<br>
<br>
I prefer to keep . files and I also like the progress. -r is
recursive. I wouldn't delete anything though, unless you are
in fact wanting to make a true 1:1 copy of that /path/ at
the given time you run the command.<br>
<br>

Hi a,<br>
<br>
I believe that error is saying you're rsyncing to a
non-existing folder. What is the command you are
using?<br>
<br>
Also, what is the output of:<br>
lsblk<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>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

<p>and this error message: "rsync error: error in

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

Hi a,<br>
<br>
When using rsync, the destination and
originating path needs to exist.<br>
<br>
rsync -Prvvac /path/to/old/archive
/path/to/new/archive<br>
<br>
If the destination path doesn't exist, you will
need to mkdir and mount accordingly.<br>
<br>
However, your original question is how to change
folder/file permissions.<br>
<br>
This is how to change which user and group can
access/edit a file.<br>
sudo chown username:usergroup /path/to/file.txt<br>
<br>
This is how to change which user and group can
access/edit a folder and everything in that
folder:<br>
sudo chown -R username:usergroup /path/to/folder<br>
<br>
This is how I would do it on my current system
(to change user access to a folder):<br>
sudo chown jr:jr /path/to/file<br>
<br>
I know to use jr:jr because I did this:<br>
<br>
ls -l .bash_history <br>
-rw------- 1 jr jr 69881 May 24 13:34
.bash_history<br>
<br>
To do this you will need to be in your user
folder (or ls a file you know that you own).<br>
pwd<br>
/home/jr<br>
<br>
I didn't cover chmod, so let us know if you
still can't access the folder you're trying to
access.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
