I am trying to backup my photos from my windows computer to my ubuntu server. But each time I run rsync it transfers all the files each time. I have researched how to modify the rsync command, but I have yet to find anything that works.
This is how I mount the windows folder in fstab:
//WIN/share /media/windowsshare cifs credentials=/home/jason/Documents/win.credentials,sec=ntlmssp
This is my rsync command:
rsync -h -v -r -P -t -O --ignore-existing /media/windowsshare/photos /media/mediadisk1/data/photos
I have also tried adding --size-only
and --checksum
to the rsync command because I read in a post that Ubuntu's timestamp is different than windows and that can cause syncing problems, but those did not help.
