In the above command you have "drescued_commo". > I then checked for existence of source: > >> root@debian-jan13:~# ls /media/root >> 17oct2017 debian64 rco sda14.bak >> backups gddrescued_commo rco1 sd-card >> common good-fvwm recover-common stretch-2nd >> common-bak jessie8-6-sda6 sci-fi-dvds tomboy-testing >> root@debian-jan13:~# In the above output you have "gddrescued_commo" which is not the same as "drescued_commo". Which would explain why rsync says: "rsync: change_dir "/media/root/drescued_commo" failed: No such file or directory (2)" Does that help?
