Hi Kevin, Thanks for your quick response. The rsyncd.conf file looks like:
charset = utf-8 [user] path = /c/user comment = "" use chroot = true uid = root gid = root read only = false auth users = admin I'm still confused about how to specify the path. The actual UNIX path is: /c/user/snapshots/rsync_test/last I've tried: --link-dest=snapshots/rsync_test/last --link-dest=./snapshots/rsync_test/last --link-dest=../last but none seem to work.
