Solution for skipping non-regular file You need the -D switch which is a hybrid of -specials and -devices so all special and device files will be copied as well. If your code is skipping the file because it is a symlink, then why not print 'skipping symlink'? – bsd Aug 26 '17 at 11:22 My guess is that rsync is older than symlinks. Maybe they just haven't bothered to add it since it is such a rare use-case.

I back up my files using rsync. Right after a sync, I ran it expecting to see nothing, but instead it looked like it was skipping directories. I've (obviously) changed names, but I believe I've still captured all the information I could. What's happening here?
![Linux symlink file Linux symlink file](/uploads/1/2/6/6/126641320/563808082.jpg)
Then I sync (expecting no changes):
And here's the weird part:
So it worked:
but still:
Other notes:
My actual directories 'foo' and 'bar' do have spaces, but no other strange characters. Other directories have spaces and have no problem. I 'stat'-ed and saw no differences between the directories that don't rsync and the ones that do.
If you need more information, just ask.
