If you backup Windows 2003 or later, you should: - snapshot your drives with shadow copy - this makes sure you don't have "file in use problem" - run rsyncd service as SYSTEM user - use the latest cwrsync with the latest _snapshot_ cygwin1.dll from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ - it allows Cygwin programs to open files which are exclusively owned by other users -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/
