Following
all your advice and bad apple's detailed explanation above I
have managed to backup my Mint root /, /home, and the Windows
XP partition. The Windows 'My Documents' partition is
currently backing up now.
However, the Windows 7 partition is not going so well. After
several hours backing up, it terminated with the following
error:
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see
previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1070) [sender=3.0.9]
Error 23 seems to be 'partial transfer due to error', but what
I need to understand is /what/
error? There is plenty of space on the partition it's backing
up to - I purchased a SATA 2.5" 1Tb HD and caddy, partitioned
it in half and am backing up Windows to 1 500Gb partition and
Mint to the other, the Windows partition has about half free;
I say 'about half' due to the current backup mentioned above
still being underway; it won't be full even when that's
finished, but as Windows 7 was backed up /before/ this one it had even more
space available when it crashed. The rsync error says 'see
previous errors', where would I look for that please?
/var/log/syslog would be a good start?
If you run the rsync command with the "-v" option (see man
rsync) you may get more information if/when it crashes the next
time...

Thanks Martin, I'll give both of those a try.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be thanked for an entire dump of
/var/sys/syslog, but there seem to be a lot of these lines;
May 3 16:15:22 Cerce kernel: [ 9976.875915] Buffer I/O error on
device sda5, logical block 24149647
May 3 16:15:25 Cerce kernel: [ 9979.408118] Add. Sense: Unrecovered
read error - auto reallocate failed
Do they point to a failing hard disk, or is it something else? It
all runs perfectly - for now anyway..
