Yup, that's what I originally intended but I probably wasn't very clear. So basically you would add
ROBOCOPY source destination /XO /XN /XC /E /COPY:ATSOU to run after the rsync finishes. How are you running rsync with no remote daemon running? Mapped drive? Why not run the remote daemon, I believe rsync can even initiate the remote daemon from the client side if you want. (hopefully my terminology is correct there) _____________________________ Stephen Zemlicka Integrated Computer Technologies PH. 608-558-5926 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of havoc Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 11:28 AM To: rsync@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: cygwin rsync windows to windows ACL problem Intriguing, you're saying to use rsync to copy/sync the data, the use robocopy to only recursively set permissions? Robocopy can do this without transferring data?
