I built rsync under cygwin on Win2K with no problems. I use it to back up files from a Linux samba server (where I keep everything) to a Win2K server where all data is backed up nightly. I have soft links to both UNC shares in my home directory and so just want to do a local copy: csserver -> //csserver/richardson kodiak -> //kodiak/users/ar63 When I do: rsync -avuz ~/csserver ~/kodiak The kodiak soft link is blown away and a local kodiak directory is created, so files are stored locally instead of on the kodiak share. I tried using: rsync -avuz ~/csserver . from within ~/kodiak, but the same thing happens. If I use the cygwin mount command to mount the kodiak share on ~/kodiak everything works okay, but I'd rather use soft links instead. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tony Richardson
