    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>

        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>

                        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>
