Could someone give me a clue here. I am trying to back up my cygwin
installation running as the administrator and am denied rights to
read various files in the /home/nameofuser directory structure.
I guess I could ssh in as various users and make a tarball but it
seems this should be easier.
Hi, what is a good way to backup Cygwin?
Through Cygwin, through Windows?
Won't I lose the file permissions on files with Windows backup? And turn
groups/owners all into
how about TGZip or BZIP2 everything from cygwin, is that the best way? I
have about 1gig of Cygwin stuff now.

In the same directory as cygwin1.dll, of course. Or a path relative to
it. That's easy to find, and doesn't have to be written in portable
POSIX-y code - stu

Then, as I suspected, you don't have to worry about anything but the
mount table.

why it was designed.

Suppose I back up my entire Cygwin directory, format the disk,
reinstall Windows and restore Cygwin. It doesn't work. Why not?
Running Setup again then hunt and pecking very specific files from
the backup to the new installation is quite annoying. What else does
Setup copy/install and where?
