    The problem I had with rsync may be due to the method I used to make 
the backup. The bad copy I made was not it seems bad. I had made the 
permissions for /tmp root and that caused the gtk problem. Of course it 
IS a problem.

    Today I did a rsync copy that was a huge success. I used a new rsync 
method but not sure it matters much. Just a bit more handy.

    It didn't boot. It got no-where and that told me the stupid uuid 
problem is upon me again. I made a new uuip and then this copy booted up 
just like the original does.

    The rule seems to be if you change ANYTHING, get a new uuip. I think 
this is a big problem with uuip. But once you stop changing things uuip 
stays good.

    So rsync works fine and I will use it at least 3 more times before I 
am done.
