Hi,
Its got nothing to do with your backslashes.
Its the "strict modes = true" setting.
If you leave it true then the file on the windows box HAS TO BE read
only by the user running the rsyncd daemon, or the system service.
I suggest you make strict modes = false for ease of use.
See the excerpt from the rsyncd.conf file below.....
#
# Does rsyncd ensure that the secrets file is read only by the
# user running the process? If this is false then no check is
# performed (useful for Win32 systems). However, you can change
# this to "true" and make the secrets file READ ONLY by the user
# running the rysncd process. If running from the command line
# or upon login, this should be the user who is logged in. If
# running as a Win32 service, then the SYSTEM account should be
# the only account that can read the secrets file.
#
strict modes = false
Also i think these should be changed....
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/rsyncd', '/Documents and
Settings'];
#$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/Documents and
Settings/*/Local Settings'];
to.....
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['rsyncd', 'Documents and
Settings'];
#$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['Documents and
Settings/*/Local Settings'];
...because your rsyncd share is the root of the folder, you dont need a
"/" in front of the top level folders.
The rsyncd client software from the BackupPC Download site is quick,
easy and optimized for backuppc and there is no necessity to use
"cygdrive/c" etc etc. You can just use "C:" etc.
