How do you copy it? Which archive container do you use? I have tried it with: /: cat zip.bat cd C:\ \7z\7za a -tzip -xr!cygwin64/home/* -xr!cygwin64/var/log/* tmp\cygwin64.zip cygwin64 But in resulting cygwin64.zip the directories /cygdrive /proc /usr/bin and /usr/lib are missing, because they are mount points. Next problem is: the file permissions will not be restored. -- Ullrich Horlacher Server und Virtualisierung Rechenzentrum TIK Universitaet Stuttgart E-Mail: horlac...@tik.uni-stuttgart.de Allmandring 30a Tel: ++49-711-68565868 70569 Stuttgart (Germany) WWW: http://www.tik.uni-stuttgart.de/ REF:<16fc5b76c50.2780.a1382e26d1292f71ec6ef0cd03d49...@pdc.ca> -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
