 ## Limitations
+- Does not copy files directly, only folders containing the files.
 - No built-in assistant for restoring incremental rsync backups.  
 - Invalid file names may cause backup errors.  
 - Backups cannot be made from Linux system files to a Windows partition (NTFS, EXFAT, FAT32, or FAT). Use Linux file systems like ext4 or btrfs instead. However, NTFS can still be used for common file copies with mirror backups.
