The message "Invalid argument" is from your OS, and it looks like it is being generated when trying to hard-link a device. I'd suggest trying to hard-link a device manually to see if it works: ln /dev/audio /dev/audiotesting123 If that fails, make sure that the CAN_HARDLINK_SPECIAL define in config.h is not defined (just comment it out if it is, and rebuild). > /Users/foo/bin/rsync -avH --link-dest=/Volumes/backups/vanguard/backup.0 \ > --numeric-ids --exclude=/proc --delete -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ backup.new Another potential way to avoid the errors would be to add --exclude=/dev to your options (as long as you don't require the backing up of your device files). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
