Now I can access the volume shadow copy from rsyncd. But I have to start the rsyncd from a terminal (remote ssh session). If I run it as a service by cygrunsrv it can't access the volume shadow copy. It is the same in XP and Vista as well as in Home or Professional/Business versions. I've double check that the cygrunsrv/rsyncd runs in the same user which call the dosdev. Is there some special rights or environment for processes runs as service? br Matthias -- Don't Panic -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
