hmmmm.... I tried rsync and this is what it said:rsync -aP --log-file=/var/tmp/rsync-$$.log /media/bmike1/Backup Documents/Pictures/* /media/bmike1/4B3150E46CD4CD76 sending incremental file list rsync: [sender] link_stat "/media/bmike1/Backup" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: [sender] change_dir "/home/bmike1/Documents/Pictures" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1338) [sender=3.2.7] I copy and paste the directory names so I know that is right and the directories show in thunar so I know it is reading it currently. As for what i am doing I'm backing up my pictures to another drive so I don't only have one backup drive.
