I am not sure how to exclude a directory on an ntfs partition from being accessed during rsync. The attributes do not seem to be right and it comes up with this error: =============================== 'rsync -a -l -v --exclude "/mnt/User_WinXP/System Volume Information" -e "ssh -c blowfish -l root" /mnt/User_WinXP/ 10.10.10.25:/home/httpd/backup'
sending incremental file list rsync: opendir "/mnt/User_WinXP/System Volume Information" failed: Permission denied (13) sent 975792 bytes received 3760 bytes 23048.28 bytes/sec total size is 11957666624 speedup is 12207.28 rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1042) [sender=3.0.7] =============================== Is my syntax wrong? This what mount shows for the partition (I use ntfs-3g): /dev/sda7 on /mnt/User_WinXP type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) -- Regards, Mick
