In case cygwin was doing some filename mapping, I tried it in cmd:
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1>cd t
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 5CC0-9DEE
Directory of C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t
08/24/2005 08:54 AM <DIR> .
08/24/2005 08:54 AM <DIR> ..
0 File(s) 0 bytes
2 Dir(s) 28,321,488,896 bytes free
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t>edit .dotfile
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t>del .dotfile
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.

I'm sure, too. Apparently, you can't start a filename with a period in
Win, either, as my previous examples showed.
1120817285.22306_0.mail (works fine)
.1124450874.30945_0.mail (reports 0KB)
.1123700716.P14142Q0M23.mail (reports 0KB)
.1087907444.7006_1.mail.domain.com,U=1,W=42566 (reports 0KB)
Is it possible for Cygwin to emulate an ext2 or ext3 partition on the NTFS
drive? The other idea I had was to have a dual-bootsystem and actually back
up when booted in Linux, but obviously this seriously complicates the
automation process.> Yep. I'm sure.
