I'm using tar to back-up data from my android tablet to laptop. But it is showing some error.

(I'm unable to take back-up from nautilus even as clear from this thread)
(I would like to add that the file names aren't displayed clearly in my laptop for the android files in the terminal. I've this thread regarding this.)
EDIT
I used rsync command but the same error.

Yes, I've got the solution. See there were 2 options for connecting tablet. 1) Media device (MTP) 2) Camera (PTP)
I'd been using the 1st one where via command line I was failing to do & via GUI, I wasn't able to retain the time stamp. This option uses mtp to connect.
Then yesterday, it stroked my mind & I connected via the 2nd option , i.e. camera. Now via GUI (shotwell software), I was able to import the files. Then in nautilus, I found it was connected not via mtp but gphoto2.
Now I was able to use the command line & copy via
cp -aretaining the time stamp & it worked. Now I know all command line commands liketarwill work as with any external HDD or pen-drive. A great relief!
