There is no file "panic-2012-02-01/home/darxus/0000_latest.jpg" in the --link-dest directory. There _is_ a home/darxus/0000_latest.jpg file, but that's not what's being looked for. Try modifying your command to: rsync -Ha --link-dest=/media/4tb/bak/panic-2012-01-01/ /media/2tb/bak/panic-2012-02-01/ /media/4tb/bak/panic-2012-02-01/ (Whenever in doubt, use trailing slashes :-) Paul -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
