Hello! I have external HDD for backups, but under Windows it may get different drive letter on different computers, so I would like to use relative path instead of full path like ../Backup instead of /cygdrive/g/Backup
In this case I have in the root folder of the drive 2 folders: cygwin-rsync - here rsync and bat-scripts for backup all needed modules Backup - here where all backup files should be stored So when I connect the drive, I go to the folder cygwin-rsync and run there backup.bat... it contains a command like this: bin\rsync.exe -vvrlth --progress --delete-before --password-file password.txt u...@myhost.com::Module1 ../Backup/Module1 This should works (destination folder is one folder up and then Backup folder, etc), but instead it says that: rsync: mkdir "/../Backup/Module1" failed: No such file or directory (2) I don't understand why it adds a slash "/" at the beginning of the destination path? Is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong? Thank You very much. Here is the full log: g:\cygwin-rsync>bin\rsync.exe -vvrlth --progress --delete-before --password-file password.txt u...@myhost.com::Module1 ../Backup/Module1 opening tcp connection to myhost.com port 873 sending daemon args: --server --sender -vvltre.LsfxC . Module1/ (5 args) receiving file list ... 3310 files to consider rsync: mkdir "/../Backup/Module1" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(675) [Receiver=3.1.2]
