Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm using the right command and error message.. Anyhow,
I ran my rsync command with strace like you suggested:
sudo strace -f -o /home/user/rsync.strace sudo rsync -rltODv --delete
/home/user/NTFS/Win-Ubuntu/ /media/BackupDrive/ --modify-window=2
and it gave me these errors again! :-(
rsync: failed to set times on "/media/BackupDrive/.": Not a directory (20)
rsync: failed to set times on "/media/BackupDrive/DataRecovery": Not a
directory (20)
rsync: failed to set times on "/media/BackupDrive/DataRecovery/Business
Cards": Not a directory (20)
rsync: failed to set times on "/media/BackupDrive/Downloads": Not a
directory (20)
and this is the output of my strace (not complete, since is a very huge
list, but posted what I think is necessary enough =P ):

However, when I run my rsync command with the -O option like this
rsync -rltODv source destination, everything seems to work fine without any
errors :clap: but what gets me all puzzled is that why would it matter if
-O, --omit-dir-times omit directories from --times (According to rsync man)
is included in the command?? There must be something I'm not seeing!!
:confused: any ideas ?? Thank you.
