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 --ignore-errors -zauve ssh --exclude-from=rsync-excludes.txt 'ice:/cygdrive/c/Documents?and?Settings /cygdrive/d/user1 /home /etc' /mnt/snapshot/ice/windows/daily.0 but the following command works: rsync -R --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=1 --ignore-errors -zauve ssh --exclude-from=rsync-excludes.txt 'ice:/cygdrive/c/Documents?and?Settings /home /etc' /mnt/snapshot/ice/windows/daily.0 I notice that if I specify multiple source /cygdrive/* dirs to be backed up, rsync hangs (first case above), otherwise it is happy (second case above). Can anybody see what could be the problem? Or, how do you backup multiple dirs from a cygwin box? ->HS -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
