[BackupPC-users] Rsyncd and WinXP
Dear All, I apologise for re-visiting this, but I am having difficulty backing up a WinXP machine over rync. I am using Backuppc version 3.1.0, and cygwin's rsync on the WinXP box. When I issue a fuill backup, I get the following message in backuppc Executing DumpPostUserCmd: /home/backuppc/Bin/NotifyUsers -h -u *...@ -m ** -c 0 -t full -s hr_info Got fatal error during xfer (chdir failed) Backup aborted (chdir failed) I have blanked out the email address, host and user for this email. I then went and looked on the WinXP in the rsync.log file and I get the following message, 2009/05/01 16:39:23 [4024] rsync: chdir /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/f:/Alvina_PET/HR_Info failed Has anyone else seen this, or can someone point me in the direction of a solution, thanks Peter -- Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.

Apparently, rsyncd is interpreting this as a relative path. You probably need to use something like "/cygdrive/f/Alvina_PET/HR_Info" instead. Hope that helps.
