c.f. src/bin/pg_verifybackup/t/003_corruption.pl which says: my $source_ts_prefix = $source_ts_path; $source_ts_prefix =~ s!(^[A-Z]:/[^/]*)/.*!$1!; ... # See https://www.msys2.org/wiki/Porting/#filesystem-namespaces local $ENV{MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL} = $source_ts_prefix; Probably in this case just setting it to 'server:' would do the trick. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
