Absolutely understand! You've been way more help than I hoped in the first place. I sent off the backup via crontab at about 21:30 and I received the MAILTO at about 03:30, so assume it takes about 6 hours to copy over this latest project list I just crontabbed again (to the correct spelling of...

Ah sorry, yes via Samba

All of those folders are only accessed by two windows PCs, they are a selection of project backup drives, or the resource library, or personal folders. I think some of the folder are leftover from previous mounting attempts, just took a screenshot of the folder list (this is my layman's way of...

It worked! However, I rewrote the rsync command in the richcopy.sh with a spelling mistake, and they copied over into a newly created "PROJETS" rather than the existing "PROJECTS" ! So i've just corrected that and rerun the script and again no permission denied (13) email. Fantastic The ntfs...

Great, i've just crontabbed it and it's been a few minutes now with no permission denied email. No news is good news I think for this, the whole backup will take a few hours as there's a good few 10's of GBs in there. I will report back with the crontabs results. Feels like this is fixed, so in...

Looks like it's started copying over! It seems like you've corrected the user & groups within the mnt folders? They're all pi now! before they were a bit all over the place.. Is there a way of cancelling this, so I can run it via the crontab and see if it emails me a permission denied (13)...

I need to add, I quoted out that "//192.168.1.56/Public ... " and added the afpfs one below in a moment of ... confused panic today. FYI it was still not working before I made this change

Not sure if these screenshots are worse than pasted text.. apologies if they're hard to read

Yep, have done so - however it's hanging on just a blank line, not sure if it's processing something..

Thanks for responding! My use of sudo is my equivalent of a 'hope for the best' tactic. It's not that I don't understand what sudo does. I'm aware it's almost like using an overseer login to execute something, it's just I lack confidence in knowing the user persmissions/ownerships of this whole...

Thanks Condobloke!

Hello, As context, about a year ago I (along with 70% of the population) decided to move my work computer back home, in the shed more specifically. For security reasons i've decided to keep all the HDDs and the NAS drive back indoors, connected via a decent CAT6 ethernet cable I ran to the...

(This is going to sound like passive aggression, but this is genuinely not) I appreciate the silence for my previous questions! I feel a bit like you've all been here before and knew not to answer, as I found it all out for myself and have learnt a sh*t load in the process! Although I am still a...

Cheers, Wizard! Pom indeed :D

I'm back! I've spent the last few days wrestling with postfix in order to have the progress of the rsync emailed to me (I've set it to copy over at 1am each morning). Which now works, surprisingly. However I've just run a test copy of the script and it seems to have stopped at ~1.3GBs of a...

Success! I scheduled the backup script for 01:00 and woke up this morning to an eye-wateringly beautiful directory backup on the destination drive At the end of the terminal readout I have a 'rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1207)...

Ah ok, just to clarify i'm not looking to zip anything, just creating a copy of folders & files within on a separate hard drive. Currently looking into rsync, user jglen490 shared that rsync script and i've just realised he has -auv all together, yet they are different commands for the rsync...
