Technically, it allows for 100% of the files to be recovered that cygwin rsync/tar or smb can see. There are ntfs files that won't be recovered such as NTFS alternate data streams (the data will actually be *lost* since cygwin explicitly doesn't handle such non-POSIX files). Also, junctions won't necessarily be recovered (though in many/most cases at least one copy of the data will be somewhere else on the system) Sorry for the nit-picking ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
