Some more details on my problem.
The machine have Ubuntu 12.04 with rsync version 3.0.9
I am using this server as data server using "Netatalk" for share with apple OS for my graphics work, so here i save my work containing file created by (indesign, photoshop, illustrator, quark xpress, mathtype etc.)
I have try to backup my shared folder on external HDD using "rsync" mounting external HDD in local. But in backup copy the font file result Zero kb.

Here is the result i try to backup only the folder containing font.
Here PROVA_BKP_SRC is source directory(folder on local HDD) and BKP_DES is folder on external HDD mounted in local. 

# rsync -av PROVA_BKP_SRC/ /BKP_DES/
sending incremental file list
./
