Dear rsync users,

I'm trying to copy my Time Machine Backup from my old USB hard drive to a new one. I got error messages, because rsync don't create group and other permissions.

I use rsync 3.1.3.

Did I use the correct parameters? Who has an idea, what mistake?

Thanks!

Best, André

The bash script:

#!/bin/bash

source=/Volumes/LaCie\ d2\ Quadra\ v3/Backups.backupdb
destination=/Volumes/G-DRIVE\ Thunderbolt\ 3

#rsync_test=-n

rsync_opt=-aHEAXXN

echo "Kopiere Time Machine Backup ..."
echo

sudo /usr/local/bin/rsync \
$rsync_test $rsync_opt --fileflags --fake-super --delete --stats \
--log-file=/Users/andre/Desktop/log/rsync-$(date "+%Y%m%d%H%M").log \
"$source" "$destination"

exit 0
