rsync on linux to vFAT

FAT/VFAT doesn’t support groups, and doesn’t support modified time recording to the second, only minute

  1. instead of -a ( -rlptoDg) use just -rlptoD (removes the ‘g’)
  2. add –modify-window 120 (seconds)

For backing up user dirs that do not match the external permissions, use “-rltD”. vFAT doesn’t do multiuser when mounted under linux

FAT isn’t case sensitive, so “Folder” and “folder” on the source will collide on destination. Avoid this naming on the source side
