Hi, I've installed cygwin and rsync/ssh on a vista client and want backup it to backuppc 3.1.0-2 on my Linux server:
On client side (vista) I use rsync 3.0.4 (protocol version 30) Capabilities: 64-bit files, 64-bit inums, 32-bit timestamps, 64-bit long ints, socketpairs, hardlinks, symlinks, no IPv6, batchfiles, inplace, append, ACLs, no xattrs, iconv, symtimes On server side (linux) I have rsync 3.0.3 (protocol version 30) Capabilities: 64-bit files, 64-bit inums, 32-bit timestamps, 64-bit long ints, socketpairs, hardlinks, symlinks, IPv6, batchfiles, inplace, append, ACLs, xattrs, iconv, symtimes In the logfile on Client side I found tons of messages like: 2008/10/27 21:36:02 [2327] rsync: readlink_stat("/Dokumente und Einstellungen/All Users/Application Data/Anwendungsdaten/Application Data/Anwendungsdaten/Anwendungsdaten/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Anwendungsdaten/Application Data/Start Menu/Programme" (in C)) failed: File name too long (91) In the server logfile I see: full backup started for directory C (baseline backup #8) Connected to Loredana.mybackup:10025, remote version 30 Negotiated protocol version 28 Connected to module C Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system --bwlimit=2840 --ignore-times . .
