Hi folks,
I have a new NAS that I'm setting up that I want to use to backup a specific folder under OSX Lion. I'm currently calling it from a bash script like this:
rsync --delete -av /Source/Folder/ /Destination/Folder
My source folder is /Volumes/MacHD/Users/Me/StuffIwanttobackup
My destination folder is /Volumes/MyNas/Backups
Everything appears to go correctly, and the files move over, but I get an error that says something along the lines of 'rsync: chgrp failed, permission denied".
I did some poking around on Google and I found some posts that say it's a problem, and some that say that I can ignore it, but I figured if anyone would know, you fine folks would.
Is this the best way to go about this? I have it in archive and verbose mode (it wouldn't run without the -a switch, actually) because I like to just see what's going on. I'm using --delete because the folder I'm backing up is part of recording studio software, and I routinely clean out old takes (and do not want to back them up).
If there's a better syntax that I should be using, I'd also love any insight on that as well. Thanks very much!
