I am attempting to use rsync to backup a Win98 laptop to a FreeBSD 4.8
backup server. I have experienced the same problem at roughly the same
point in the process on two occations. The laptop contains ~2.7Gb of data.
On the first attempt we received this error at 2.3Gb and on the second at
2.4Gb.
rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(575)
Would love to have a full backup of the laptop without error. Any assistance
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mike Lynn

It is necessary to go through the output of rsync to identfy which files had errors. On a windows system open files will produce that condition and a running windows box will have some system files open at all times. If you want to avoid that problem reboot the system onto a live CD and mount the windows filesystem. I just confirmed that knoppix does have rsync and expect most of the other live CD distros do as well. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
