I've reset my cygdrive prefix to "/" rather than "/cygdrive".
For interactive use this seems fine.

However, I'm running some backup software that accesses the
system from a remote server.  That software does not see the
windows drives as /c, /d, ... (i.e., my new prefix), but still
sees them as /cygdrive/c etc. as if I did not change the prefix.

Any idea why the difference?
