I have been waiting for someone to comment on this as I have had the same problem in the past. Using rsync on cygwin on NT or 2000 is flaky and unreliable unfortunately. Using smbclient on a linux box to mount a data drive on a 2000 or NT box and using rsync with the --modify-window=10 and excluding the System Volume Information folder makes everything work very well. This is a great way to do offsite backups. Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
