There are three areas of fundamental incompatibility (that I am aware of) Basic File Permissions: Unix has rwx for owner/group/world, Windows has Hidden/System/Read-Only/Archive. NTFS has ACLs (The above is an oversimplification, and things can be done so it works well enough for what is necessary, but ...) Timestamps: Unix has one-second resolution and base is UTC regardless of the current timezone of whoever is asking Windows has the computer in the local timezone --- lots of fun when crossing time zones or even daylight savings time. (Think of two users, each in different time zones... ;-) Windows creates/updates the directory entry and then eventually (most of the time) fills in the actual file contents. This applies also to windows accessing SAMBA shares. (That's why I backup my SAMBA servers at 3:33 AM) Good luck.

Moore Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 10:21 AM To: rsync@lists.samba.org Subject: rsync to SAMBA mount or NTFS tutorial? Will someone please tell me where to go, and how to get there to get rsync running to mounted windows shares or mounted NTFS volumes? I'm doing OK with rsync-ing to EXT3 mounted volumes but the others still perplex me. I look forward to hearing from you, Dale
