I have been puzzling over why a cygwin bash shell cannot access the c:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\backup directory. I have added "Users" and "cyg_server" account to directory permissions. I still cannot cd to or copy from the backup sub-directory. I saw postings regarding accessing certain System32 files failing with 32-bit apps. I tried creating a file system Junction link to the inetsrv directory, still no luck.
