Hi,

since upgrade to 1.7 my rsnapshot backups do not create symlinks any 
longer. It seems "cp -al" does behave differently, as discussed in

         http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-03/msg00149.html

What I don't understand is why sometimes links are created, for example 
for file Nokia*, but not for file M.

 From an rxvt window:

   514  export CYGWIN=nowinsymlinks
   515  cp -al Nokia_Ovi_Suite_webinstaller_ALL.exe Nal
   516  ls -il
   517  cp -al Nokia_Ovi_Suite_webinstaller_ALL.exe Nal2
   518  ls -il
   519  rm Mal
   520  cp -al M Mal
   521  ls -il
   522  cp -al Nokia_Ovi_Suite_webinstaller_ALL.exe Nal3
   523  ls -il
   524  rm x*
   525  echo asdfasdfa > x
   526  cp -al x xal
   527  ls -il

Ubuntu live creates links as expected on this NTFS disk.

many tks for your help
Christian
