hello, I'm trying to use a remote SMB/CIFS share to backup a local directory tree. I use rsync "version 3.0.4 protocol version 30" and mount.cifs "1.10" with a kernel 2.6.18. The directory I'm trying to backup is quite big and has a lot of files inside.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dir]# du -hs . 50G . [EMAIL PROTECTED] dir]# find . -type f | wc -l 41929 I get the following error when I try to use rsync: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# mount -t cifs //SERVER/backup /media/backup -o credentials=/root/.credentials,rw [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# /usr/local/bin/rsync -aq --whole-file --force --delete --backup --backup-dir=/media/backup/incremental/$(date +%Y-%m-%d) /dir /media/backup/current rsync: mkstemp "/media/backup/current/dir/files/.file.mp3.rqE1s8" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: mkstemp "/media/backup/current/dir/files/.file.mp3.NxYdH6" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: mkstemp "/media/backup/dir/files/.file.mp3.jkbgXp" failed: No such file or directory (2) Can you give me any advice to solve it?
