Hi, we do a nightly backup using rsync (v2.5.6 as server on RedHat 7.3 and rsync 2.5.5 on Windows 2000/Cygwin). The backup media connected to the Windows-Client is a VFAT-formatted Maxtor USB-Disk.
Everytime I run rsync from the windows-client, the following error occurs: --- <snip> --- rsync.exe -avzr --compress --stats --delete --timeout=240 --modify-window=2 rsync@server::development cygdrive/e/backup/development . . MOD-SR1/common/ MOD-SR1/common/help/ rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (105057 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150) . . Wise InstallBuilder 8.0X/RUNTIME/DIRECTX5/ Wise InstallBuilder 8.0X/RUNTIME/DIRECTX5/directx/ rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (105057 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150) --- <snip> --- And then rsync stops working. The same error message everytime. But there is nothing special about the files and the rsync-server is running with root-permissions. I guess it has something to do with the with the VFAT-formatted USB-disk - I've tried the same command with my local NTFS-formatted harddisk as backup media - and everything works fine! Any ideas :o( ??
