I am sorry, I was not clear. On the original script I am using -backuptarget=\\\\SERVERNAME\\PATH\\TO\\SHARE to avoid the use of quotes. I have several cygwin version installed across multiple windows nodes. All of them work correctly.
On the 2 new cygwin-2.5.0 nodes using the same script (already working with 2.4.0 and older) does not work. One was a cygwin upgrade, and the other was a clean install. What I mean to say, it was that given the number of computers running this script across systems that can not be access remotely, the solution that would be practical for us to find, would be one that we can be attached to a set of cygwin-2.5.0 installation instructions. I really appreciate all of the assistance I can get. I hope I did not sound dismissive. Just as an update, even if I connect directly via ssh to the node and and run either: /cygdrive/c/windows/Sysnative/wbadmin START BACKUP -user:USERNAME -password:PASSWORD -backuptarget:'\\SERVERNAME\PATH\TO\SHARE' -allCritical -systemstate -quiet or /cygdrive/c/windows/Sysnative/wbadmin START BACKUP -user:USERNAME -password:PASSWORD -backuptarget:\\\\SERVERNAME\\PATH\\TO\\SHARE -allCritical -systemstate -quiet it does not work. I do understand what you mean that SSH will strip the quotes. Whatever the solution is, I am interested in finding it. The next thing I am going to try is to roll back some windows updates to see if that is responsible for the issues. Any other suggestion, ideas and solutions would be appreciated. -AlexG On Thu, Apr 14, 2016 at 3:10 PM, Achim Gratz <strom...@nexgo.de> wrote: > Alexandria Gutierrez writes: >> I also have a feeling it has something to do with the way ssh is >> sending the single quotations over to windows. > > The ssh will never see those single quotes since they're stripped out by > the shell, so it can't send them over to Windows anyway.
