I am backing up Windows box directories on a Linux rsync server. Backing up is going good for now. How do I deal with permission issues? Currently, a Windows user is not able to read files from the backups directory in the Linux box. I am using the -a flag in rsync command. Is there anyway (other

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

Hi, I am writing up a rsync script to back up a Windows box using cygwin running on it. On my Debian Testing, which will do the backups, I plan to run a cron job. In the script, I am faced with this problem of defining the source directories (dirs on the remote machine to be backed up) in a bash

Hi, I yesterday installed a bare minimum Cygwin (via internet) on to a laptop running Windows XP. The purpose of the Cygwin installation is to backup data on to a Linux computer using rsync and ssh. I was wondering, to allow for passwordless login via ssh I have to run ssh-agent and ssh-add comma
