Rsync Backup job NAS to USB drive suddenly displaying strange behaviour
The backup job in question has been running flawlessly 3 times a day for the last year.(alongside a similar job which is not mis-behaving) The only change I have made since this began is installing ...

Did you check the permissions and owners for these particular MP3s? Right-click in file explorer, etc...

Thanks for the interest StephenB
Changed the owner of the whole Music share to Admin (it was Guest) and File Access to Users (it was guest), deleted the backup "Music" and ran the backup job again, no change. I think I will just live it until I have time to check the Windows Permissions/Ownership fully, particularly as I have a very simple Home setup of which I am the only user.

Spent some time on Permissions in Windows Explorer today and made some changes.
Deleted the whole Music Backup dataset, ran my Rsync Backup job, on viewing the log there are now no "errors" shown.
Not sure which change I made resolved the issue but many thanks to StephenB for the pointer

Glad you got it fixed.

I spoke too soon, random ALC messages are back in the Backup log, the job completes, the Backup data is a complete mirror of the data.
Clearly something is not right either in Rsync or Win 10.
Am just going to ignore it

How did you solve this problem I'm having the same problem
And my backup sizes Dont match the source sizes so I'm assuming that these files didn't copy
