Can anyone point me at the specific thing I should be reading, or suggest anything? If you mail me off list then, if there is interest I will summarize to the list. Thank you. You can't open the file because it's been opened with a sharing mode that disallows any other process to open it. The third parameter of CreateFile() is dwShareMode and can one or more of FILE_SHARE_DELETE, FILE_SHARE_READ, FILE_SHARE_WRITE. If it is 0 then no sharing is allowed, and the file cannot be opened by any other process until the handle is closed. So I'd need to boot off something else to get everything then? This is why backup programs are more than just file copying utilities. There are a number of files that you can't just copy from a live system. Even if you could forcibly open the file, if you were to na?vely copy it you might get inconsistent state, since the whole point for opening a file exclusively is so that you can have full control over it and implement your own form of transactions. A good case to consider. So some databases will also fail if they are live. Starting with XP, Microsoft introduced the Volume Shadow Copy service, as the other reply in this thread indicated. This is a vastly complicated[1] COM interface that can be used by backup programs to get See what you mean! consistent state for all files on a live system. Certainly no Cygwin tool or app uses this API. Thank you. What I do is simply use the built in Windows backup program (ntbackup) to create a backup to a file. Ntbackup uses all the proper backup APIs and can deal with all in-use files correctly, and the resulting output is just a plain file that can be copied around with standard tools, or split/burned to DVDR, or whatever. Can it extract individual files from the backup? I don't want to copy old Windows System files on to the new machine when it appears.

I don't want to end up with an extra copy of XP on the destination system as Microsoft aren't exactly relaxed about licencing, so I'll need to be able to extract the specific files I want afterwards. What I did before was to write a recursive Ruby program to copy files and log what didn't get copied. Most other copying approaches to solving this die on the first error. I could get tar not to die, but couldn't get it to tell me much about what failed or why. I now know more about that and why it is likely to fail in lots of cases, not just ntuser.dat. Trying to use the backup provided with windows (My\ Computer - C: - Properties - Tools - Backup) which I see is ntbackup, was tricky in the past: it doesn't work with CD RWs, only floppy disks, or a big file, which I would have had to put on the same disk as I was trying to back up. With a new drive I shouldn't have that problem. (For some values of shouldn't.) So my current plan is to attempt to use NTbackup to do the job, possibly through the toos - backup dialogue in the first instance.

Static cygwin perl + Win32CORE
I've had a bit of a hack-day enabling static cygwin perl compilation (-Uusedl),
esp. needed for bleadperl so that I can have more easily multiple versions
around for testing.
This is the Win32CORE hack for blead, perl-5.10 later.
Don't apply yet, needs more testing.

If it's a once in a (PC's) lifetime job, then the knoppix offline way is the better way. The only guarantee M$ makes regarding shadow copy for non shadow copy awareapplications is that you get the same data that would reside on the disk after a PC crash. I got burnt when ntbackup copied an in-use svn repository (the with the Berkeley db backend). Any knoppix will do, you don't need the DVD. Just: 1) use hdparm to make sure DMA mode is enabled; 2) use fdisk to repartition your removable hardrive, creating a partition of same exact size as the old partition; 3) use dd_rescue to copy the whole partition. I suggest dd_rescue over dd because it will handle read errors graciously. Hint: specify the soft blocksize big enough to use caching (say around 4M). Setting it too high will cause floating point exceptions I've never really wanted to debug; 4) Enjoy. Note that the 3rd step may take some time. But you will get maximum performance from linear access and no other program trying to access the drives concurrently. OTOH, this method is certainly not the best if you need to copy say 4GB of data from a 150GB partition.

Who can give me a hint how to update to the required versions?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: tar-1.20-1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of tar, 1.20-1, is available, replacing 1.19.90-1 as the current version, and leaving 1.19-1 as previous. NEWS: = This is a new stable upstream release. It finalizes the new --lzma feature that can be used to achieve better compression ratios if you also install lzma. This release requires cygwin-1.5.25 or later. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/tar-1.20/. DESCRIPTION: GNU Tar is an archiver program. It is used to create and manipulate files that are actually collections of many other files; the program provides users with an organized and systematic method of controlling a large amount of data. Despite its name, that is an acronym of tape archiver, GNU Tar is able to direct its output to any available devices, files or other programs, it may as well access remote devices or files. The main areas of usage for GNU Tar are: storage, backup and transportation. UPDATE: === To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'tar' from the 'Base' category (it should already be selected). DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations.

Recognized actions are: dot, echo (the default), echo=string, ttyout=string, exec=cmdline, and sleep=value. Any number of `--checkpoint-action' options can be specified, the actions will be executed in order of their appearance in the command line. See chapter 3.8 Checkpoints for a complete description. * New options --no-check-device, --check-device. The `--no-check-device' option disables comparing device numbers during preparatory stage of an incremental dump. This allows to avoid creating full dumps if the device numbers change (e.g. when using an LVM snapshot). The `--check-device' option enables comparing device numbers. This is the default. This option is provided to undo the effect of the previous `--no-check-device' option, e.g. if it was set in TAR_OPTIONS environment variable. * The --transform option. Any number of `--transform' options can be given in the command line. The specified transformations will be applied in turn. The argument to `--transform' option can be a list of replace expressions, separated by a semicolon (as in `sed'). Filename transformations are applied to symbolic link targets during both creation and extraction. Tar 1.19 used them only during extraction. For a detailed description, see chapter 6.7 Modifying File and Member Names. * Info (end-of-volume) scripts The value of the blocking factor is made available to info and checkpoint scripts via environment variable TAR_BLOCKING_FACTOR. * Incremental archives Improved (sped up) extracting from incremental archives. * Bugfixes. ** Fix bug introduced in version 1.19: tar refused to update non-existing archives. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

PATCH: login under privileged user != SYSTEM
I've been trying to get all the bugs in inetutils-1.5 squashed, and I
ran into an issue with rlogin when rlogind was running under a
privileged user (that is, not SYSTEM), as is required for Windows Server
2003, 2008, and Vista.
The problem was, although rsh would honor my .rhosts and allow
passwordless operation, rlogin would not. It always asked for my password.
Internally, rlogind *knew* that the incoming connection was
authenticated via .rhosts, so it invoked login thus:
login -p -h incoming hostname -f -- username
where the '-f' SHOULD mean this is already authenticated, don't ask for
the password again. But it wasn't working, because login was hardcoded
to compare the current uid to 18 (that is, SYSTEM), before allowing
passwordless auth. But rlogind/login were not running under SYSTEM.
I don't think you can simply replace the code in login, the way we did
in many of the servers, tho:
#ifdef __CYGWIN__
-#define ROOT_UID18
+#define ROOT_UIDgetuid()
#else
#define ROOT_UID 0
#endif
because then you'd allow passwordless auth no matter what account login
was running under. Now, it might fail later, assuming we added code to
check whether some future setuid() succeeded or not, but I think that's
too late in the process.
So, for *login*, I changed the code from
if (uid == ROOT_UID)
to
if (is_a_ROOT_UID(uid))
and implemented a function that, depending on the underlying windows
version, either
(1) compares to 18
(2) checks that the account with the specified uid has the following
privileges:
+SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
+SeCreateTokenPrivilege
+SeTcbPrivilege
+SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege
+SeServiceLogonRight
(On NT/2k/XP, uid = 18 is an automatic yes, but if uid != 18, then we
fall back to the Vista check-privileges procedure)
With these changes, I can now get passwordless rlogin when inetd is
running under a privileged user, and not SYSTEM.
Most of the code was adapted from editrights/main.c...

Updated: tar-1.20-1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of tar, 1.20-1, is available, replacing 1.19.90-1 as the current version, and leaving 1.19-1 as previous. NEWS: = This is a new stable upstream release. It finalizes the new --lzma feature that can be used to achieve better compression ratios if you also install lzma. This release requires cygwin-1.5.25 or later. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/tar-1.20/. DESCRIPTION: GNU Tar is an archiver program. It is used to create and manipulate files that are actually collections of many other files; the program provides users with an organized and systematic method of controlling a large amount of data. Despite its name, that is an acronym of tape archiver, GNU Tar is able to direct its output to any available devices, files or other programs, it may as well access remote devices or files. The main areas of usage for GNU Tar are: storage, backup and transportation. UPDATE: === To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'tar' from the 'Base' category (it should already be selected). DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: == If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin tar maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: = To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

Recognized actions are: dot, echo (the default), echo=string, ttyout=string, exec=cmdline, and sleep=value. Any number of `--checkpoint-action' options can be specified, the actions will be executed in order of their appearance in the command line. See chapter 3.8 Checkpoints for a complete description. * New options --no-check-device, --check-device. The `--no-check-device' option disables comparing device numbers during preparatory stage of an incremental dump. This allows to avoid creating full dumps if the device numbers change (e.g. when using an LVM snapshot). The `--check-device' option enables comparing device numbers. This is the default. This option is provided to undo the effect of the previous `--no-check-device' option, e.g. if it was set in TAR_OPTIONS environment variable. * The --transform option. Any number of `--transform' options can be given in the command line. The specified transformations will be applied in turn. The argument to `--transform' option can be a list of replace expressions, separated by a semicolon (as in `sed'). Filename transformations are applied to symbolic link targets during both creation and extraction. Tar 1.19 used them only during extraction. For a detailed description, see chapter 6.7 Modifying File and Member Names. * Info (end-of-volume) scripts The value of the blocking factor is made available to info and checkpoint scripts via environment variable TAR_BLOCKING_FACTOR. * Incremental archives Improved (sped up) extracting from incremental archives. * Bugfixes. ** Fix bug introduced in version 1.19: tar refused to update non-existing archives.
