Lee >>> You're right - rsync didn't mess up the directory structure on
the drive; but the 'folders' within Liferea were missing. (Liferea
allows you to 'group' feeds under headings of your choice; and it was
this that didn't get preserved - something going wrong with the Liferea
cache and database files?)
I may have been misleading by mentioning permissions; I suspect it's
the owner/group information that matters, and that's what's getting lost
(though I'd be the first to admit I don't really understand Unix
ownerships/permissions).
But frankly reading some news feeds is not a serious enough matter to
spend time reconstructing the data in order to use get a synced view of
Liferea. ;-)
