I was trying to backup my system for the first time and rsync is throwing a
permission denied error up. Did something change with rsync or is this a
user error? How do I fix it?

What is the exact text of the error? What are the existing permissions of
what you're trying to backup?
Thanks,
Alexander.

This is a pretty vague question...
The severity of the error you have may range from irrelevant to
catastrophic, and it is impossible to assess without the context of what you
are doing.
What user is login to the remote computer?
Does that user have rights to that filesystem?
What user is in
rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/Seagate
rsync: mkdir "/media/bmike1/Seagate" failed: Permission denied (13)
Mike, this suggests that whatever user is login in to the remote box doesn't
have the rights to 'mkdir /media/bmike1/Seagate'
Login to that box with that
is seagate mounted ? is it write protected ?
