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)
I assume "/path/to/some/" is on the target drive. What filesystem are
you
Yes, the target drive.
using on the USB drive? Can you give any real examples of failed
filenames (even just the final name, not the path)?
An example of a filename:
rsync: [receiver] mkstemp "/path/to/some/directory/WNYC's Leonard Lopate
Show/.wnyc_lopate.mp3?d=475.0atuCZ" failed: Invalid argument (22)
It seems blanks and characters such as apostrophes, brackets, etc, cause
problems.
As for filesystems, source/target can be
ext4 to ext4
ext4 to HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
HPFS/NTFS/exFAT to ext4
... depending on direction.
The HPFS/NTFS/exFAT is a 2TB portable Samsung SSD Model T7. I wasn't
sure if I should reformat it to ext4, leave as-is, or what?
"HPFS/NTFS/exFAT" isn't a filesystem. Are you getting that from fdisk
or something? What does mount say? I'm going to assume it's some type
of FAT, probably exFAT if it's actually one of that list. There are
characters that can't be in filenames on that. Also, you'll be losing
file attributes and labels which will be a problem if you want to
restore in the future. I suggest reformatting it to a Linux filesystem
like ext4 or btrfs.
