Rob,
Thanks! That was exactly the problem - I ran regedit, searched the registry
for 'cygwin' and kept "finding next", deleting each key tied to Cygwin. Then I
ran rsyncd.exe inside C:\rsyncd, went to Services and started the rsyncd
service and BackupPC was able to do a successful backup.
Now to get rsyncd to run at startup, can I just leave the service set to
automatic? Or should I run cygrunsrv.exe then service.bat?
Secondly, I know each host computer to be backed up can be accessed by
assigning rsyncd to listen on a different port on each computer then forwarding
those ports to each each specific computer from the router (as suggested by you
earlier). However, since each computer has the same host name, how do I set up
BackupPC for multiple computers using the same host name? (Since each host
computer would need their own config.pl to assign a different rsyncd port)
Lastly, and this is just a reminder to anyone who might read this post - don't
forget to set "read only = false" in rsyncd.conf or else you won't be able to
restore your backups to that share... I made that mistake and got an "Unable to
read 4 bytes" error.
Rob, I can't thank you enough for providing such thorough assistance.
Cory
