I looked at the luckybackup manual, which leads me to think that it would be helpful to know the precise command that you entered to produced this error message.
I think it would be useful if another Luckybackup user could post their settings (with redactions as necessary) so I can compare mine to theirs. If there's some option I should or shouldn't include I'd like to know what it is.
I'm trying to (a) create a backup of my home directory (recursive) on a USB thumb drive. Then, once I've managed to do that (if ever), I want to sync the thumb drive to my laptop and have the former automatically updated on start up. I have Deja-Dup set up to backup to Google Drive but I really want a fallback option just in case
Without knowing anything about your tasks it is a bit difficult to tell why it did not work.
I am not familiar with luckbackup but it just looks like a fancy GUI interface to rsync. If the flash drive is formatted as NTFS or exFAT you have to take into consideration permissions and symlinks
Hmm. Just dry ran that task with no changes in advanced mode and it ran without any major issues. I wonder if one of my advanced choices was responsible before?
