Problem with rsync

[Michael]

So I discovered comments work but not fsck.ntfs or fsck.vfat. Does this
mean I need to reformat it as vfat or did I do something wrong?

$ sudo fsck.ntfs /dev/sdc
sudo: fsck.ntfs: command not found
$ sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdc
fsck.fat 3.0.26 (2014-03-07)
Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 251.
