Hi,
since upgrade to 1.7 my rsnapshot backups do not create symlinks any
longer. It seems "cp -al" does behave differently, as discussed in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-03/msg00149.html
What I don't understand is why sometimes links are created, for example
for file Nokia*, but not for file M.

From an rxvt window:
514 export CYGWIN=nowinsymlinks
515 cp -al Nokia_Ovi_Suite_webinstaller_ALL.exe Nal
516 ls -il
517 cp -al Nokia_Ovi_Suite_webinstaller_ALL.exe Nal2
518 ls -il
519 rm Mal
520 cp -al M Mal
521 ls -il
522 cp -al Nokia_Ovi_Suite_webinstaller_ALL.exe Nal3
523 ls -il
524 rm x*
525 echo asdfasdfa > x
526 cp -al x xal
527 ls -il
Ubuntu live creates links as expected on this NTFS disk.
many tks for your help
