Martin,
Thanks for the ideas.
No change though! I did seem to reduce the number of error messages a
bit by increasing
--modify-window=1 to --modify-window=100
I guess I will have to live with it - at least I get a backup which is
the important thing!

I don't have the rsync reference to hand but I always use the switch
option -avzpgt - this will only do changes and preserves permissions and
time stamps

I am having problems with using rsync to backup across my
network.
Set up is
Ubuntu 9.10 - backing up to a Qnap NAS
The relevant folder on the NAS is mounted by this command in the
rc.local file
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.9/edward /mnt/edward -o
username=edward,password=xxxxxxx,uid=edward,gid=edward
The rsync command is: (runs as me)
rsync -rvt --progress --delete
--modify-window=1 /home/edward/Documents/ /mnt/edward/Documents/
This runs completely (with some errors - below) but does not
sync. It
simply copies all the files each time, deleting as appropriate.
So I do get a BU but whereas it might only take a few seconds if
little
has changed, it takes ages as it copies each and every file!
One of the error messages I get is:
rsync: failed to set times on
"/mnt/edward/Documents/webs/twointune/site/twointune.elementfx.com/logos/.nmw.gif.QyEqWI":
Invalid argument (22)
.nmw.gif.QyEqWI is a non existent file!
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Ed
