There's a patch available, but Wayne refuses so far to make it a part of the core code... which makes it very difficult for those of us less technically inclined (you need to be able to recompile it with the patch) who must backup windows boxes too. I guess the patch is too intrusive and would make maintaining rsync harder - at least thats the only reason I can think of to not include it. -- Best regards, Charles -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
