I'm attempting to backup current partition to a USB connected 1 TB drive.
I get:
root@debian-jan13:/home/richard# cp -ax / "/media/richard/MISC
backups/dev_sda14/"
cp: cannot stat '/media/richard/MISC
backups/dev_sda14/home/richard/.local/share/Trash/expunged/73080846/grub2
problem-2018-02-13/grub2 problem-2018-02-13/grub2 problem-2018-02-13/grub2
problem-2018-02-13/grub2 problem-2....018-02-13/grub2 problem-2018-02-13': File
name too long
After multiple re-readings of man page for cp I suspect:
-t, --target-directory=DIRECTORY
copy all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY
-T, --no-target-directory
treat DEST as a normal file
but am actually quite lost.
HELP please.
TIA
