      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>
