Hi Steve,I just copied the Mail folder manually and it didn't come up with any I/O errors. What I may do is move the folders because at the moment they are nested unnecessarily, as I made folders for each backup on the drive without realising rsync would make its own, so now I have e.g. /WINDOWS_7/WINDOWS7 which is pretty pointless and might result in filename lengths being an issue.

What's the total filename / path length? Just out of curiosity - can you just manually copy those files from the source disk to the *root* of the destination drive? If not, try renaming the source folders to shorter names (do a folder listing to a text file first, so you know what they should be when you're finished) I had a situation once where we couldn't copy files because someone had moved a folder to a deep nest of sub-folders... the data was fine, you just couldn't get at it... renaming the folders allowed us to drop below the ~200 character limit and retrieve the data. Just a thought...

The Mint system backup and Home partitions backed up successfully. However backing up the Windows Documents folder I get a few of these errors: rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr(""/media/julian/HECATE/WINDOWS_DOCUMENTS/CYNTHIA/Mail/tbird.default/Mail/Local Folders/Friends.sbd/Offline.sbd/UK.sbd/Local.sbd/Gals.sbd/HelenC.mozmsgs/COL107-W32FB0120E2D74AE1FF780FAC040%40phx.gbl.wdseml"","user.OECustomProperty") failed: No space left on device (28) rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr(""/media/julian/HECATE/WINDOWS_DOCUMENTS/CYNTHIA/Mail/tbird.default/Mail/Local Folders/Friends.sbd/Offline.sbd/UK.sbd/Local.sbd/Gals.sbd/Victoria.mozmsgs/62A5C58172A28A47BFBA9762C09CF44505B61D%40wfha-srv01.WFHA.local.wdseml"","user.OECustomProperty") failed: No space left on device (28) rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr(""/media/julian/HECATE/WINDOWS_DOCUMENTS/CYNTHIA/Mail/tbird.default/Mail/Local Folders/Friends.sbd/Offline.sbd/UK.sbd/Local.sbd/Guys.sbd/AlunC.mozmsgs/20090625052203.qc026bqh9ck4404s%40www.educationlawspecialists.co.uk.wdseml"","user.OECustomProperty") failed: No space left on device (28) They're interspersed between files that backed up successfully, so I don't know what the 'No space left on device' is all about. It's been suggested previously the source HD may be dying due to I/O errors I had last time. Could this be related? The backup ended with this error message: sent 664181577 bytes received 4949 bytes 2630441.69 bytes/sec total size is 41824008012 speedup is 62.97 rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1070) [sender=3.0.9] Any advice please?
