Topic: rsync does not backup all files

[DJ_Ramjet99]

Hi,

I have been playing around with rsync since my file system became too large to fit onto a NTFS partition in Win2k for backup purposes.

I created a shared directory on a Win 98 box with plenty of space called c:\BACKUP. I then created a directory on the e-smith using mkdir -p tobackup.
I mounted this using the command mount -t smbfs //BACKUP-PC-NAME/BACKUP /tobackup and my password
Using mount, I can see the WinPC mounted as /tobackup
I run the command rsync -auv /home/e-smith/files/* /tobackup and watch it go
It seems to backup SOME files but leaves others out
For example, /primary and /users does not copy across and I lose (or don't get to copy across) many of my files from within my primary store (/home/e-smith/files/ibays/mycompany
As the log unfolds, I see a lot of mesages saying chown:/some/file/or/another operation not permitted, so I guess there is a permissions issue stopping this transfer from happening completely.
What commands do I need to issue to copy the entire home/e-smith/files directory across ?

TIA
