Answer
Answer:
Because you are running rsync in the verbose mode, you should be able to see in its output where the problem lies. Usually, it is a permission denied error.
For example, suppose I want to back up the ~/.gvfs folder:
$ sudo rsync -av /home/arrange/.gvfs /tmp
[sudo] password for arrange:
sending incremental file list
rsync: link_stat "/home/arrange/.gvfs" failed: Permission denied (13)
sent 12 bytes received 12 bytes 48.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1060)
[sender=3.0.7]
so to know which file is not copied or failed use
rsync -av
output and look for similar errors.

Backup files with rsync: error 23
Question
I'm trying to make a backup of my /home to transfer all data from one computer to another. I wanted to save the backup on the same computer and than transfere it to another one
i've run in terminal:
sudo rsync -avz /home/maria /home/guest/backuand I had as the result:
sent 58797801 bytes received 23050 bytes 4705668.08 bytes/sec total size is 100202958 speedup is 1.70 rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1060) [sender=3.0.7]I have no idea, which files were not transferred, what makes the whole backup useless for me?
