I want to backup data from my laptop such, that it is also readable on my WINDOWS laptop. The backup is done twice into two different sub-directories on the USB. I created these two subdirectories (backup01 and backup02) myself. The rest of the strucutre was created by rsync according to what is in <source>
Commands a are:
rsync -av --delete <source> <destination> (=backup01)
rsync -av --delete --modify-window=1 <source> <destination> (=backup02)
When trying to access data on my WINDOWS laptop, I can acces directories backup01 and backup02. But I am not able to access the subdirectories and get the following error message:
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Re: CENTOS laptop backup to USB
On your windows pc, when you open a cmd window and run dir d:\backup01\work, does it show something?
Also, I don't know, but there may be characters that's allowed in linux file/directory names, that's not allowed in windows.

Why not just set up Samba on your CentOS laptop and copy the files across from WINDOWS?
