You are already in the /run/media/eric directory. From there, the relative path "run/media/..." does not
exist. Either use an absolute path (with a leading "/") "/run/media/eric/backup
202025-02/XPS-2025-02/var/www/html" or the relative path "backup 202025-02/XPS-2025-02/var/www/html"
without the leading directories.
