First: please do not use html messages Your question: I run rsyncd on my windows clients in a cygwin environment. Therfore I have a /etc/rsyncd.conf with: [C] path = /cygdrive/c/ and a exclude entry in backuppc which looks like: /Windows/System Volume Information Why do you use /mnt/windows instead /cygdrive/c/windows ? br Matthias -- Don't Panic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
