  • rsync stalemate

    From pinnerite@2:250/1 to All on Sat Mar 18 12:50:56 2023
    I am trying to sync data from my /home folder on a mint 20.3 system to /home
    on a mint 21.1 system. I booted on a live flash drive.

    rsync reports:

    sent 325 bytes received 181 bytes 1,012.00 bytes/sec
    total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 (DRY RUN)
    rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1207) [sender=3.1.3]

    The script that I used was this:

    #! /bin/sh
    # Backup_rsync.sh backup drive sda5 to sdb5
    #

    mkdir /mnt/sda5
    mkdir /mnt/sdb5

    mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5
    mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt/sdb5

    rsync -anrv --exclude=".*" include-from="myincludes.txt" --chown=alan:alan --progress /mnt/sda5/alan/ /mnt/sdb5/alan/

    myincludes.txt holds only those "dot" files that I want copied. i.e.

    /mnt/sda5/alan/.sane

    Can anyone tell why this isn't working?

    TIA, Alan

    ..* includes . and .. usually and the globbing will be done by
    bash in double quotes so it will include everything in your current sirectory and its
    parent. Try .?* to exclude . and .. But to let rsync do the globbing put
    it into single quotes.

    Thank you. That cracked it.
