Lee >>> You're right - rsync didn't mess up the directory structure on the drive; but the 'folders' within Liferea were missing. (Liferea allows you to 'group' feeds under headings of your choice; and it was this that didn't get preserved - something going wrong with the Liferea cache and database files?) I may have been misleading by mentioning permissions; I suspect it's the owner/group information that matters, and that's what's getting lost (though I'd be the first to admit I don't really understand Unix ownerships/permissions). But frankly reading some news feeds is not a serious enough matter to spend time reconstructing the data in order to use get a synced view of Liferea. ;-) Mac -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
