Hello community,
my goal here is to make a backup of my Virtualbox hard drives. They reside on an external drive that's not always connected. The backup target is a Synology NAS. There's currently one full backup in /VBox-bckp folder on the Synology.
I tested the following command:
but was met with this error:
I checked, and if the path doesn't exist, rsync is supposed to create it. In my case, I manually created an empty folder names 2016-08-29, but the same error appears.
What is the error?
