In case you deleted my original post, the error message is:
rsync: mkdir "/media/cf0a98ed-3c11-4107-b61e-f5139d024396/Jessie-laptop"
failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(674) [Receiver=3.1.1]
I already had verbosity turned on except I believe that refers to the list of files as they're
backed up. Not sure how to expand an error message, or even if that's possible.
Permissions are 700 for the executable file.
I'm snowed. Any other ideas?
