You may have two points of trouble. First, you need to specify something to get it to be recursive. I use -a, which covers most everything. I also use R for relative paths. I think that you might also have trouble with the "/usr/bin/ssh -l dplbackup" part. Try this:
C:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe -aR -e c:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe -l dplbackup /cygdrive/d/user_dpl electric:/raid/backups/dpllaptop OR, if you don't do c:\cygwin\bin\ , you might try /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/ssh.exe I have never been able to get the -l command to work in Windows, though. Instead, you might try: C:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe -aR -e c:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe /cygdrive/d/user_dpl [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/raid/backups/dpllaptop Trey Nolen > > I'm using Cygwin on Windows which I just downloaded and I'm trying to set > up an rsync backup.
