Hi gang. I am synchronizing Windows machines (cwRsync/cygwin) with

The usual practise is to use a batch script to stop the services which keep the
files you want to back up open.
Once you've done the backup, restart the services.
ie
net stop
rsync
net start
Works for me. :-)

It would be way cool if rsync could somehow deal with open files without a
third party file manager, as the St Bernard Open file manager costs about
$500.00.
I hope someone undertakes this.

hey,,
It was long back that i read the "white paper" for st.Bernard Open file manager.
I felt some similarity between stbernard open file manager and RSYNC. One similarity
is both of them break the file into peices.
What stbernad open file manager does is it continually moniters the system.

Just a note. I think the original poster was *mounting* the Win2K box from
Linux. As such, talking about Cygwin's attempts to use backup operators
shouldn't help at all - as that's referring to running rsync *server* under
Windows - it won't have any affect on how SMB passes locks to the SMB

Some other files, however - for instance Outlook .PST files - are
absolutely uncopyable using the GUI when they are locked by the
processes that play with them.
My experience is that cygwin can open files that are locked read-only -

programs can't rely on being able to open files that other programs have
open, there would be no way to write a useful tape backup program. To
fix, they added "backup semantics". If your process has permission to
do so, it can request backup semantics which will allow it to
semantics flag if it can back up open files.

Another way of phrasing that would be to say "If your OS prevents open

hi guyz,
One simple question. What does rsync do when it encounters open files.
Do we have to use open file manager(like st bernard) to back up open files or is there
any open source open file manager or can rsync backup open files by itself.
