3) What you expected to happen
I was using rsync to backup my Home DIrectorys' contents and at one point in the backup it gave me this error:
Downloads/
3809312768 83% 21.03MB/s 0:00:35
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (70735 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(605) [sender=3.0.9]
This only came about when it was trying to copy my Windows ISO from my directory over to my backup drive that I have formatted in EXT4 - so I'm not sure of the issue it's having.
This is the command I used to backup:
rsync --progress -rEog --exclude Videos/ --exclude converted_music/ --exclude VirtualBox\ VMs/ --exclude virtual-drives/ --exclude Backup_
Please look into this for me.
Thank you
i received the last error message when the destination-volume was almost full.
what kind of filesystem are you backing up to?
