"cygpath -u" inside backticks differs

It may be something very simple, but I just cannot figure what it is, nor can I find anything on the forums. Here - see the different results: / > echo `cygpath.exe -u '\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile'` /c/DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile / > cygpath.exe -u '\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile' //DAEMON1/anrdae
