[lbackup-discussion] rsync errors: device not configured

[henri]

> Other notes:  it does seem that rsync is doing its job, it's only that it takes a long time, and if rsync has a problem with any files, it seems that lbackup considers the whole thing an error, and doesn't use the backup it just (almost) created. 

Yes at present, if rsync reports errors during a transfer, then LBackup will not accept this as a successful backup. In addition, as you have mentioned, it will not use rsync to repair or complete a failed backup. Instead it will delete the failed backup and retransfer any changed data / all data form the source.
