rsync -e ssh -avzH /opt/zimbra root@192.168.78.17:/media/sda3/opt/zimbra

Gets me:

Code:

building file list ... rsync: link_stat "//opt/zimbra" failed: No such file or directory (2)
done

sent 29 bytes  received 20 bytes  14.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(892) [sender=2.6.8]

I've tried different combinations but nothing is working. I know this is something simple. Can someone toss me a bone???

You don't need the "-e ssh" portion; the way the destination target is formatted rsync knows it's doing ssh to a remote host.

Hope that helps,
