Hello everyone. I am using arch linux and since i could not currently use timeshift I decided to just manually back up my system with rsync if there is any problems in the future so i will have backup. I tried to use rsync and every time I used the command within about 3-5 minutes of it backing up the specified files it would hang for hours and would no longer work. to fix this problem I also tried graphical front ends such as luckybackup and grsync to see if those would also have the same problem and they did. I ran lucky backup as super user and also ran the regular rsync command under root when the original time i tried it just using sudo did not work. I am very confused as to what could be going on.
the rsync configuration I used is as follows:

exclude=".ecryptfs" /source /destination (keep in mind /source and /destination are just written here for example, i did not forget to put my actual source and destination when executing the actual command. )
