In another thread it was suggested that I use:> rsync -avzh --delete
-n
I tried it and got ~200 error messages of form:
file has vanished: "/proc/10/exe"
file has vanished: "/proc/10/task/10/exe"
file has vanished: "/proc/101/exe"

As Eero said, do not sync /proc, you can use the --exclude option.
There is a good description here, how to exclude things:

I don't, because I don't feel the need to.
According to its man page description, sync "flush file system buffers",

Because the Apple Partition Map announces to count blocks with size 2048
whereas the Linux device file announces 512 (via ioctl(BLKSSZGET) ?)).
It is quite a poor choice of parted to hop on the Apple Part

from crossing filesystem boundaries. If you are using rsync to back up whole
