Hi I'm using a cygwin compiled rsync on Windows to backup and restore files from my local Windows computer. I'm trying several destination types:
- remote with rsync:// - Samba share \\Server\Share - local drive I'm having problems with the user rights. The backup works ok but after restoring some files I can't access them. I've read that this is because rsync runs as cygwin user and the *ix rights are completely different than the Windows ACLs. I've tried various combinations of -o -g -acl -p etc. But none worked so I could access my files immediately. Some people had success when adding in their cygwin /etc/fstab a mount parameter noacl. However I don't have a full cygwin, only the rsync binary and the necessary cygwin dlls. The only parameter that helped somehow was --chmod=a=rwx,Da+x Is there no other possibility? Can I maybe tell cygwin to use a custom fstab from my installation directory? How do other people use rsync on Windows? And a second question: Do --copy-dest or --link-dest help on local targets? Or does this create even more stress on the disk? Thanks bye Fabi -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
