When I run either of these commands, I get the error rsync symlink failed: Operation not permitted (1):



sudo rsync -aAXv --delete --exclude=/dev/* --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/sys/* --exclude=/tmp/* 
--exclude=/run/* --exclude=/mnt/* --exclude=/media/* --exclude="swapfile" --exclude="lost+found"
--exclude=".cache" --exclude="Downloads" --exclude=".VirtualBoxVMs" --exclude=".ecryptfs" /source
/destination


or



sudo rsync -rltzuv --delete --exclude=/dev/* --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/sys/* --exclude=/tmp/* 
--exclude=/run/* --exclude=/mnt/* --exclude=/media/* --exclude="swapfile" --exclude="lost+found"
--exclude=".cache" --exclude="Downloads" --exclude=".VirtualBoxVMs" --exclude=".ecryptfs" /
/media/hanif/CEDF-4BFB/Backup


Neither of these work. They both show the same error:



rsync symlink failed: Operation not permitted (1)


console



Can anybody help me to get this backing up properly?

  • You can create a shorter command by putting all the excludes together. For example this Answer (that works): askubuntu.com/questions/1028604/… uses: rsync -haxAX --stats --delete --info=progress2 --info=name0 /* "$TargetMnt" --exclude=/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found

  • the error is because symlinks get ignored without the -K option being used. also, instead of posting screen-shot, copy and paste your command line output into your question

  • Please don't post images of text. Instead, paste the text directly into your question and use the formatting tools. This seems like a permission problem to me, rsync is not permitted to create symlinks under /media/hanif/CEDF-4BFB/Backup/. Please edit and provide the output of stat /media/hanif/CEDF-4BFB/Backup/.
