I have googled and read a lot of posts about people having trouble with cygwin rsync/ssh but haven't seen any definitive solutions.
For me, Backuppc repeatedly hangs after backing up the first dozen or so files on any of my Windows machines. On any given machine, the hang always occurs on the same file but the specific file that hangs differs between machines. The file that it hangs on though seems to be a normal file (i.e. not corrupted). When I run 'rsync -avuxH <windows machine>:/c/ <backup directory>', the rsync process seems to copy over most directories (~12000/15000) but only 13 files before it too hangs. (Interestingly, the files copied over are not the same ones that get copied with Backuppc; also Backuppc only copies over a couple of directories (not 12,000) before hanging). I am using BackupPC-3.1.0 with rsync-2.6.9 The cygwin remote versions are: OpenSSH_4.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006 rsync version 2.6.6 protocol version 29 Has anybody figured out what is wrong with rsync/ssh and how to fix it? Are there other (free) versions of rsync/ssh for Windows that would work better? (I did see one solution posted that involves tunneling rsyncd over a manually set up ssh tunnel but I would prefer to just get the normal rsync/ssh process working). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
