Hey guys, so I have a question.
When I go away, I bring a copy of my iTunes folder from my Desktop on my external USB drive for my laptop.
However, I always do this by just erasing and making a new copy because for some reason if I do it from the Terminal (with rsync or cp) ... it just runs out of disk space for some reason.
Does anybody know why or how I can solve this permanently? Thanks! I'd like to only "update" the external drive, not have to wait hours for everything to copy again.
EDIT: To not sound totally newb, yes I know the paths are correct ... it seems like UNIX is saving a separate copy somewhere?
SOLVED MY OWN PROBLEM ...
rsync -aEv --delete ~/Music/iTunes/ /Volumes/"USB HD"/iTunes
