I finally have installed cygwin in the windows 2003 machine with rsync, ssh + cron in order to periodically launch the rsync bash script. I'm launching the rsync script from the destination machine. This is a vmware machine.
rsync -aqzb --backup-dir=../old_backups --ignore-errors --force --delete --delete-excluded -e "ssh" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dir/ /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/versia/Desktop/pruebas_backup/current But I'm suffering the same problem, a lot of following errors: rsync: mkstemp "/cygdrive/c/Document and Settings/versia/Desktop/pruebas_backup/current/dir/files/.1751_pruebas2_000101_2008-08-07_11:04:21_2008-08-07_11:04:36.mp3.uM0RoN" failed: No such file or directory (2) Any idea?
