My backup throws these errors




rsync: failed to set times on "directory" : No such file or directory (2)




Seemingly exclusively on symlinks when running with the flags rsync -avx



Some of the symlinks point to files in the same directory as the link, and some for example one in ~/.kde point to stuff like /run/user/1000/ksocket-username.



I don't see any reason why this error would arise.
Would be thankful for any tips.



Here are some examples:



rsync: failed to set times on "/home/username/dragon/backup/backup.tmp/.config/autostart-scripts/setxkb.sh": No such file or directory (2)


This link ist pointing at /home/username/setxkb.sh



rsync: failed to set times on "/home/username/dragon/backup/backup.tmp/vmd1.9.3/lib/vmd/libavcodec.so": No such file or directory (2)


This link is pointing at libavcodec.so.56.13.100 in the same directory.

          How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
