Are you sure? At least on Win XP, VSS is read-only. If what you say is true, I would think that either chmod is not properly implemented in the VSS version of rsync or there is a permissions issue whereby the Windows side of rsync is running under a user that doesn't have permission to execute the chmod. > So, may you help ?

Not sure how you would add a new flag on the Linux side without rewriting the Linux version of rsync too. > > Hope you understand what i mean, et maybe you got an idea.

A temporary situation would be to use the normal (e.g., cygwin) version of rsync for restores and only use the VSS version for backups. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?
