That is a lot of switches. Are you sure that you need them all and that none of them conflict? Personally, I use the following: rsync -rvu --progress /source /destination If I want to preserve permissions etc: rsync -avu --progress /source /destination The -a or --archive flag sets a lot of the switches that you already use. The error you are seeing usually happens when the source file cannot be read, possibly due to permission errors, file system inconsistencies, or they are a device (which usually requires the --devices flag in order to preserve). If you are trying to backup an entire partition, partimage or even the venerable dd/ddrescue are probably better choices. > As far as I can remember, some time ago, I backuped successful using > rsync like that. > > First I tried to backup by tar and also get an error. > > The same when I tried to backup /home: > > sent 148603306 bytes received 32908 bytes 19818161.87 bytes/sec > total size is 148456266 speedup is 1.00 > rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at > main.c(1049) [sender=3.0.2] > > I can't find a clarification by Google. I can't see which files are missing. These flags might be useful - --log-file=<logfile> - --progress You could also pipe the output to a file with > > Does anybody know something about this error? http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/ Always a good place to start with rsync. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIqgKJwRXgH3rKGfMRAnV+AJ48pq648EEg+Y/lTb1ktM0ONtg7NACggj4T m5tmk1/NZx7NbZLH6/ir8Dc= =c31h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
