Have you tried using SFU (services for unix) instead of cygwin on your Windows box? by Töns -- There is no safe distance.

(This wouldremove debian from the picture)- Ryan I don't know why, but it is working now. I exluded the .lnk files andbackedup the d drive folder separately first. Then I included otherdirectories to be backed up. Now I am backing up only '/cygdrive/d/user1 /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings' and it seems to be working great.But I agree with you over the points you mentioned. I guess I will try them anyway.Thanks,->HS

I am not able to rsync and backup /cygdrive/d/user1 directory at all! The rsync process just hangs. Rsync works on other directories in /cygdrive/c and / but not on /cygdrive/d/. Here is what I have on the Windows XP box running Cygwin: $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount) Any comments? ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

[Cygwin <-> Debian]: rysnc hangs when backing up multiple /cygdrive/* dirs
Hi, I am not able to see what could be going wrong with my rsync method. I am trying to back up a Windows XP box (running Cygwin and sshd and rsyncd) from my Debian Testing box. The following command hangs before really transfering any files: rsync -R --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=1 --ignore-errors -zauve ssh --exclude-from=rsync-excludes.txt 'ice:/cygdrive/c/Documents?and?Settings /cygdrive/d/user1 /home /etc' /mnt/snapshot/ice/windows/daily.0 but the following command works: rsync -R --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=1 --ignore-errors -zauve ssh --exclude-from=rsync-excludes.txt 'ice:/cygdrive/c/Documents?and?Settings /home /etc' /mnt/snapshot/ice/windows/daily.0 I notice that if I specify multiple source /cygdrive/* dirs to be backed up, rsync hangs (first case above), otherwise it is happy (second case above). Can anybody see what could be the problem? Or, how do you backup multiple dirs from a cygwin box, if you this kind of thing at all? I just hope I have specified the source directories correctly in the commands above. ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
