Craig, thanks for the tip. I downloaded the most recent cygwin1.dll file from this site and replaced my existing cygwin1.dll file with it. I'm using the rsyncd package from the BackupPC site, so that file resides in c:\rsyncd. No more "file has vanished" errors on files with special characters. Should the rsyncd package be modified to include this dll? I can zip it up and send it to you if you want. -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
