Hello! I found a strange problem while using rsync to backup my files. I use a script: ------------------ #!/bin/bash SOURCEDIR="/" TARGETDIR="root at DLINK-13F017:/mnt/HD_a2/administrator/RAIDBackup/" LOGFILE="--log-file=/home/administrator/.rsync/rsync_dns323.log" OPTIONS="-avz -e ssh --stats --progress --delete --delete-excluded" EXCLUDES="--exclude-from=/home/administrator/.rsync/exclude_dns323.txt" sudo rsync $OPTIONS $LOGFILE $EXCLUDES $SOURCEDIR $TARGETDIR 2> /home/administrator/.rsync/errorlog_dns323.txt -------------- Exclude-From contains: - /dev/ - /sys/ - /proc/ - /home/administrator/.gvfs/ - /home/administrator/.rsync/rsync_dns323.log - /home/administrator/temp/NAS/ ------------ Well, everything is copied as expected I guess, exept ~/Desktop/. The directory on the target side - the file manager says there is no content. I even cannot access it via console using su or sudo, I get permission denied. This has surely something to do with the rights, but I don?t get the clue. ~/desktop/-folder source-side: 750 drwxr-x--- administrator root ~/desktop/-folder target-side: 750 drwxr-x--- administrator administrator I hope you can help me! Thanks, HomeR
