Ls the -r you recommend included in "-Prvvac"

To make your command work, just remove the --dry-run.
I would probably add the -r for recursive.
So this is what I recommend.
First, start out in a empty backup folder. Create one if you don't want to remove the /backup folder.
Then run this :
rsync -Prvvac /home/a/ /media/a/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup
That's a safer option, as long as the destination is empty. It will also look for subfolders. Includes the . files and doesn't delete anything in destination.
Why your original command didn't work is a simple typo.
You had this
/media/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup
When it should have been this:
/media/a/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup
Notice the /a/ after /media

Hi a,
Does this work?
rsync -av --dry-run --delete --exclude=".*/" /home/a/ /media/a/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup
I would probably run that as this.
sudo rsync -Prvvac /home/path /desination/path
I prefer to keep . files and I also like the progress. -r is recursive. I wouldn't delete anything though, unless you are in fact wanting to make a true 1:1 copy of that /path/ at the given time you run the command.

Hi a,
I believe that error is saying you're rsyncing to a non-existing folder. What is the command you are using?
Also, what is the output of:
lsblk
Thanks,

thanks for the reply I took the easy way out with permissions used sudo nautilius. although it did dredge up shadow of the past with chmod.
If you have the inclination can you illustrate rsync suggestions by referring to the terminal output below in this email. I created a backup folder. but get the following" "Can anyone explain, attachment .png of uuid info. error seems to be between /media/a/uuid and a "switch" occurs /media/uuid, what the hey/"
and this error message: "rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(675) [Receiver=3.1.2] "
If the problem is to messy to decipher I will concur. Then thanks all the same, congrats on the new club. Best, a

Hi a,
When using rsync, the destination and originating path needs to exist.
rsync -Prvvac /path/to/old/archive /path/to/new/archive
If the destination path doesn't exist, you will need to mkdir and mount accordingly.
However, your original question is how to change folder/file permissions.
This is how to change which user and group can access/edit a file.
sudo chown username:usergroup /path/to/file.txt
This is how to change which user and group can access/edit a folder and everything in that folder:
sudo chown -R username:usergroup /path/to/folder
This is how I would do it on my current system (to change user access to a folder):
sudo chown jr:jr /path/to/file
I know to use jr:jr because I did this:
ls -l .bash_history
-rw------- 1 jr jr 69881 May 24 13:34 .bash_history
To do this you will need to be in your user folder (or ls a file you know that you own).
pwd
/home/jr
I didn't cover chmod, so let us know if you still can't access the folder you're trying to access.

Jared
