Ah, you figured it out! If you live in Albuquerque, I'm hosting a LUG On June 4th. https://www.abqlug.com/past-meetups/0-day-meetup/ Regards, Jared On 5/27/19 5:11 PM, a wrote:

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.

2.) rsync -av --delete --exclude=".*/" /home/a/ /media/6fbdc743-fc0f-46e4-aea3-8160914c34ec/backup

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,
Jared
