Greetings,
I've been using rsync to backup from my various desktops and laptops to an
in-house networked server. A variant of the script is appended below.
Located in /etc/cron.hourly, the script pings a machine to see if it is
live; if so, it proceeds to do an incremental backup to a machine-specific
location on a dedicated drive. Components of this script were suggested,
and then I adapted it for my situation.
Where I seem to run into some trouble is when I try to restore from the
dedicated drive when it is attached to a machine via USB cable.
Specifically, when running a command such as this:
rsync -av /var/backup/machine1/home/SomeUser /home
I get a lot of messages such as this:
rsync: [receiver] mkstemp "/path/to/some/file.0atuCZ" failed: Invalid
argument (22)
In the process, not all files are restored.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
MP
