Hello,
I regret, i haven't service pack 2 installed with WinXP. I'm sure
that is why the path you gave me doesn't work.So please what can be
the problem and what can i do?
Have you actually installed and configured the rsyncd service on the
windows pc? And have you started it?
You need to get the rsync for windows from the backuppc download site.
Extract that into c:\rsyncd for instance
Edit the config file in c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.conf to suit your share, making
sure it matches what you set on the server.
Once your happy with the config save the file.
Then doubleclick on c:\rsyncd\service.bat
This will actually start rsyncd and install it as a service in windows
xp so that it starts automatically on boot.
You can test locally on the pc like this...
c:\rsyncd\rsync.exe -av 127.0.01::Testdir
If that works then there's no reason why it wont work from the BackupPC
server.
If it still fails make sure you dont have other software blocking it,
i.e. norton firewall, mcafee security centre etc etc.
Also rsync runs under cygwin which means it cannot coexist with other
utilities running under cygwin due to the cygwin1.dll file.
So if you have other cygwin utilities rsync will probably not run
without disabling them.
