So I've been successfully backing up Windows XP, Vista & 7 machines to my
BackupPC instance using Cygwin1.dll, Cygrunsrv.exe, & rsync.exe as a windows
service. Then came a Windows 8 laptop to my work. I tried to install rsync on
it like I've done with all of the other Windows flavors, but it failed. The
files are located where they should be, and the service gets registered, but
when it tries to start the service, it fails. Event log throws up entries like
"rsyncd: PID 3092: `rsyncd' service stopped, exit status: 127". Cygwin itself
gave some slightly more verbose errors in C:\var\log\rsyncd.log:
/rsyncd/rsync.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygpopt-0.dll: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
/rsyncd/rsync.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygiconv-2.dll:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Armed with both of these log entries, I downloaded the full blown cygwin,
extracted it, and found the appropriate .dlls and copied them to my rsync
directory. Then it gave me this error:
/rsyncd/rsync.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
What the deuce? I have no idea how to troubleshoot this one. Anyone have any
suggestions on how to get rsync working on Windows 8?
Thanks,
