I intend to make a script to run at 2am daily. To guard against losing
the backup the script will first make sure that both source and
destination are mounted. I haven't figured out yet how to do that, but
it's in my plans. In the meantime I'm just running rsync manually.
And that brings up my immediate problem. Bear in mind that I want the
destination to be a mirror of the source, hence my need for the
--delete option. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working. Here is
my current command:
rsync -rptog --delete /media/jjj/Movies/* /media/jjj/Synology
The command executes fine, except that the --delete doesn't happen:
rsync -rptog --delete /media/jjj/Movies/* /media/jjj/Synology
(13) IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous
errors) (code 23) at main.c(1183) [sender=3.1.0]
I've spent a couple hours googling on this and haven't come up with an
explanation. Can someone enlighten me?
