I use cp as my backup tool from disk to USB. There are maybe 40,000 files involved and each one has
a message of
"cp: preserving permissions for <file>â: Not supported". These messages slow down the backup and
obscure meaningful faults. Is there any option for removing the messages?
My command line is: cp <directory> /<usb>
Umm, add command line flags that don't request the permissions to be set?
E.g., --no-preserve=mode
You can play around with the various options of preserving / not preserving
mode, ownership, date/time, etc.
