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.
