I know this subject has been covered a fair bit here but I'm getting confused with the vast array of possible options I've seen in various cmdlines posted here, and the vast (and sometimes confusing) rsync manual.
Can someone show me the simplest case to allow rsync to push data from a windows XP or vista machine onto an opensolaris host using rsync on cygwin? What options are commonly required? is a simple command line like this: (NOTE: The --inplace part has to do with the zfs filesytem on opensolaris and its snapshot function) rsync -avv --inplace /cygdrive/c/ u...@opensol:/ZHOSTS/someHost/ I'm guessin the -a might get me introuble trying to make windows ntfs match a unix permissions setup. So what is better? My concern here is when it comes time to restore something I don't hit some unexpected snag involving permissions on windows. Also I seem to recall something on windows having to do with ntfs that can fool rsync into thinking the data is all new and different than the data on the remote .. so invoking a massive transfer where a differences only transfer should have occurred. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
