February 3Feb 3 Hi friends.....Benn happily using this script for several years now on my local unraid to usb weekly backup. I recently acquired a second unraid server and am trying to copy the existing server over to it (both on the local network and have setup ssh keys on both. It has a 24TB ZFS pool with a folder for backups which is where I am trying to place a copy of the original server data into. I am able to run a dry run rsync copy fine. It reports no errors ("rsync -avz --dry-run /mnt/user/data [email protected]:/mnt/user/backups") however when I configure this script I get a hardlinks unsupported error and the script fails. Any suggestions?error I am getting....created directory /mnt/user/backups/link_dest>f+++++++++ empty.file--link-dest arg does not exist: /mnt/user/backups/link_destremoved '/tmp/_tmp_user.scripts_tmpScripts_192168124 - 192168125_script/empty.file'Error: Your destination /mnt/user/backups does not support hardlinks!Script Finished Feb 03, 2026 11:09.54
