Hi,

I've installed cygwin and rsync/ssh on a vista client and want backup it to 
backuppc 3.1.0-2 on my Linux server:

On client side (vista) I use rsync 3.0.4 (protocol version 30)
Capabilities:
    64-bit files, 64-bit inums, 32-bit timestamps, 64-bit long ints,
    socketpairs, hardlinks, symlinks, no IPv6, batchfiles, inplace,
    append, ACLs, no xattrs, iconv, symtimes
On server side (linux) I have rsync 3.0.3 (protocol version 30)
Capabilities:
    64-bit files, 64-bit inums, 32-bit timestamps, 64-bit long ints,
    socketpairs, hardlinks, symlinks, IPv6, batchfiles, inplace,
    append, ACLs, xattrs, iconv, symtimes

In the logfile on Client side I found tons of messages like:

2008/10/27 21:36:02 [2327] rsync: readlink_stat("/Dokumente und 
Einstellungen/All Users/Application Data/Anwendungsdaten/Application 
Data/Anwendungsdaten/Anwendungsdaten/Application Data/Application 
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application 
Data/Anwendungsdaten/Application Data/Start Menu/Programme" (in C)) failed: 
File name too long (91)

In the server logfile I see:
full backup started for directory C (baseline backup #8)
Connected to Loredana.mybackup:10025, remote version 30
Negotiated protocol version 28
Connected to module C
Sending 
args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system --bwlimit=2840 --ignore-times . .
Checksum seed is 1224438319
Got checksumSeed 0x48fb722f
Sent exclude: /System Volume Information
 :

What can I do? Is there a bug/feature with Vistas file links?

Thanks in advance
Matthias
