I've been using a powershell script to create shadow copies and link them to the filesystem in order to expose them to rsyncd. This works with my oldish copy of DeltaCopy rsync, but when I use the current cygwin-rsync package from the BackupPC web site I'm not able to follow the link.
If I tell it to follow the link: rsync -r -L rsyncuser@host::shadow symlink has no referent: "C" (in shadow) drwxr-xr-x 0 2014/09/17 11:32:30 . rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1538) [generator=3.0.9] If I don't tell it to follow the link: rsync -r behdadrs...@cbe-win7amd64.che.wisc.edu::shadowdrwxr-xr-x 0 2014/09/17 11:37:30 . lrwxrwxrwx 54 2014/09/17 11:37:30 C On the windows side: dir c:\shadow 09/17/2014 09:27 AM <SYMLINKD> C [\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume.... I have use "chroot = no" in rsyncd.conf I've also tried a variety of links related switches on the rsync client. Googling "symlink has no referent: windows" turns up a few other people with this problem Anyone been able to solve this one?
