Note it should be using rsyncd Basically I had to tell the BPC server that the directories were of the following format: ../../cygdrive/c/Users/[username]/Documents Using rsyncd, however, it should be referring to the rsyncd.conf file on the server and using the information contained therein about the folders. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ 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/

When you say "basically nothing in it", do you mean it's actually completely empty? BPC doesn't backup empty shares, I've seen it happen over here. -- //Sorin smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot___ 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/
