rsync errors

[alleycat]

Try switching to root and run the command, which is how I do my backups.  Having said that, I ran the rsync as my user with sudo and didn't have any issues.

You'd also need to use sudo for the tar since the -p option preserves the ownership and permissions of the original files when copying them.

Also, I'm assuming you own /jellydata, correct?  I ran my rsync test in my home directory without issue.

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to make this harder than It needs to be I guess.  Just a copy is going to have to do for now. I need to focus on learning cli, ownership and permissions. A lot of us are still GUI guys and I'm using a headless machine for Jellyfin (which works great! btw)...
