Thought I would let folks know that the latest CVS version of the rsync ACLs patch works with Cygwin. 

My guess is that they will roll it in the next release (2.6.8 I believe). 

 

If your interested in being able to rsync and still preserve ACLs when rsyncing between Windows

and Linux/Unix, this latest release does the trick.

 

Don’t know about you, but this eliminates my need to hang on to bulky ntbackup files and/or using robocopy

to fix ACLs after rsyncing.  It also makes BackupPC way more powerful a solution for windows backups

as you can now preserve security settings when backing up and restoring.

 

Here is the link to the mail list thread if your interested.
