Backup to/from where, using what backup method?

rsync over a LAN. The NAS was smb mounted. the rsync summary:

sent 59,173,408,422 bytes received 578,797 bytes 7,480,435.78 bytes/sec
total size is 59,389,706,157 speedup is 1.00

28,954 files. Example of files not transfered:

.local/share/gvfs-metadata/sftp:host=mneme-86f18778.log

.local/share/gvfs-metadata/sftp:host=thor,user=chris

these are gnome configuration files. Anyway a backup should do all files

.local would be hidden, correct?&nbsp;&nbsp;
Were there any files in.local that were copied?

.All files were copied except the ones with the special characters. I am using XFCE. The backup was made with rsync. Below here is a partial directory list with the NAS mounted on /mnt.&nbsp;artemis:/mnt/doug&gt; find . -type d -name ".*" -maxdepth 1./.config ./.dbus ./.fltk ./.gimp-2.8 ./.gnome2 ./.gnupg ./.gstreamer-0.10 ./.gvfs ./.hplip./.idlerc ./.kc ./.local ./.notecase ./.pki ./.purple ./.ssh ./.ssh1 ./.vnc ./.xchat2as you see dirs and files with leading "."s are included as they should be. The only files not copied were the ones with the special characters. As I thought I said files with these characters can not be added by any method.&nbsp;

One thing i should have added is using the web interface the hidden directories do not appear and so far I have not found an option to view them. They are however there.
