Backup photos to NAS

[cynics]

While trying to copy library.photoslibrary to my NAS it starts and stops and eventually gives me error -38. I just want to make a manual backup separate of my TM for my photos on my raid 1 array.

Format is exfat and I move files 3x as large to and from the NAS daily from the same machine. It seems like OS X is stopping this transfer.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks guys!

Can you try with rsync in the terminal?

rsync -a  /path/to/source /path/to/destination/

Hmm. When trying that photos opened telling me there were inconsistencies with the library and needed to be repaired. Apparently it doesn't like being messed with.

Photos opened up automatically? That's weird

I copy my photos to my NAS using Carbon Copy Cloner. It's not a free solution, but it works every time.
