Nope.... spoke to soon
I have only performed rsync on the Download and the Documents folders on the Mac so far, but the size difference is vast so something is not right...
Downloads folder on the Mac: 21.02GB
Downloads folder on the sever: 2.5GB
Documents folder on the Mac: 47.02GB
Documents folder on the Server: 3.8GB
This the exclude list...
Code:
.Spotlight*
.Trash*
.AppleDouble*
.*
$RECYCLE.BIN
*.ini
iperf3
Applications (Parallels)
Desktop
Documents/Microsoft User Data
#Documents
#Downloads
Library
Movies
Music
Nextcloud
Parallels
Pictures
Public
Trash
rsync
I then commented out the Pictures folder (using a #) in the exception list and got the following error...

I even installed Homebrew on the Mac so I could install a later version of rsync (3.2.3)
The version of rsync on Ubuntu 20.04 is 3.1.3.
No wonder people don't bother to backup when its such a head ache !
