"some files/attrs were not transferred" means that not all the files that you wanted to transfer actually made it. But if you look at the errors, there are only 3 files that didn't get copied. Assume the rest were copied fine because it didn't complain. Looking further at the file names and destination path, perhaps the special characters like question mark and pipe as well as trailing spaces might not be allowed on a FAT file system (which I'm just assuming you are using because the destination path looks like a USB stick). Rename those 3 files and run again.JonathanOn Tue, Nov 17, 2015 at 5:46 AM, Michael Havens <bmike1@gmail.com> wrote:---------------------------------------------------I want to backup ~/Documents with rsync.
