How to backup a Caffe (DL framework) project? The Caffe folder (downloaded from GitHub) can't be copied or compressed

I am using Ubuntu18.04 and Caffe deep learning framework to do my project. However, when I tried to backup my project, I found that the Caffe folder (downloaded from GitHub) can't be copied or compressed.

Here is what I did:

  1. Download Caffe from GitHub, and install it.
  2. Do some modification to the source code for my project.
  3. Backup the whole Caffe folder. However, if I copy the folder to a USB flash drive, I will have a folder that misses files (I compared the size and number of files of two folders). If I compress the folder then copy it to the USB flash drive, then I get error says I can't open the compressed file.

I wonder if I did anything wrong, what is the correct way of backup Caffe project?

Thanks.

Based on the comments, the problem is due to wrong file permissions for certain files. Assigning read permissions to the full directory should solve it:

chmod -R u+r <caffe directory>
