What kind of file system is the destination writing to?  It's highly likely that rsync is trying to write a file with a name that they destination file system doesn't like.

Hmmmmmm..... I just tried it as:

 rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk
 rsync -rWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk
 rsync -ruq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk
 rsync -rq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk
 rsync -r --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk
 rsync -a --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk

 And it keep doing the same thing:

$ rsync -aWuv --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk

Those errors are probably occurring from copying files from a partition that supports permissions to a drive/partition with something like a fat32 filesystem that does not support permissions.

By changing the -a to a -r rsync simply copies the files instead of trying to preserve all the permissions, so no errors.

   Darktable/.darktable-1:7HairEdit2.y4Qitq" failed: Invalid argument (22)

in my search for an answer as to "why" I happened upon this. (copied below for your convenience.) Their solution was to change the archive tag (-a) to a recursive (-r) tag. What about the other settings that -a preserves?  
However, it didn't work for me and I just noticed that what rsync seems to be doing is taking all of the videos I have in the folder "Darktable" and refusing to copy them and in the error message appending the file name with a 6 character string (.y4Qitq in the example shown).
Perhaps it is expecting a file type (.mp4 or something) and when it doesn't find it creates it's own.


Rsync from linux server to a Windows server as a redundant backup using cwrsync but getting an error for the chown command on the directories being backed up.

The issue was simple enough, stop telling rsync to change the owner as the linux command is invalid on the windows server.

1
rsync -atv /directorytobackup/ windo w sserver::cwshare

changed to

1
rsync -rtv /directorytobackup/ windo w sserver::cwshare

and all is now quiet from an error message perspective.

Thanks to Marcin and Linux Questions Forum for the solution.


But I'm going from Linux to a USB drive.
