ok, you have a proper rsyncd.conf for your application, good job there.
Now, how do you start the daemon? with --no-detach in a bat file defining
$CYGWINROOT handled by srvany? Manually running it? Can you list the
modules locally? After setting up the daemon, "rsync localhost::" should
come back with the "backup" module name. set "list" to "yes" temporarily
for the test. Even if you leave list set to "no", it should run without
error, rather than saying something like "
rsync localhost::
rsync: failed to connect to localhost: Connection refused
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at
../../../../src/rsync-2.5.5rc1/clientserver.c(96)
" If it fails, that means your daemon isn't accessible. Try "rsync
--daemon". That should fork and return you to a prompt. At that point,
do a "ps", which should show a rsync process. Try the listing again.
As an aside, do you really intend to get just your cygwinroot ("/"), or do
you mean rather something like "/cygdrive/c", so that you would get the
entire C: drive?
Anyway, once we know it's working locally, we can tackle issues with
accessing it remotely, if any remain.

Of course you can. It's done all the time.
Set up your rsyncd.conf in /etc under cygwin, start the server (rsync
--daemon), and read from it.
If you've already done this, send more details (your rsync.conf, output of
"ps ax" after starting the server, "rsync localhost::" output, etc.).

Can anyone help me with rsync. I'm trying to set up rsync on a windows nt

when i tried to use rsync with linux to connect to the windows box i get a
error invalid module. Is there anything i can do to get rsync to work so
i can do off site backup. thanks Bill Nash
