I don't know why, but it is working now. I exluded the .lnk files and backup the d drive folder separately first. Then I included other directories to backed up. Now I am backing up only '/cygdrive/d/sukh /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings' and it seems tobe working great. Well, not 100% great, I am posting that problem in a different post shortly. ->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/
