rsyncd is listed there as you expected, but it had no status when I saw it. I told it to start, and it produced some garbage about "service started then stopped" and goes on about some services like logging having that as standard. In any case, the path to executable field says "C:\cygwin\bin\cygru

From what I can tell, all that does is insert and remove registry entries from the services list in Windows. cygrunsrv has a separate command for stopping and starting services, and I'm not sure (without testing it) if removing will actually stop the service as well. The definitive way to tel

I used: cygrunsrv --remove rsyncd and then checked with: cygrunsrv --list which only showed sshd running. I still get the chroot error, and it seems that rsync not running should produce an error long before anything about chroot. Since cygwin shell seems to be crap (no /etc/init.d/rsyncd) and p

You may need to stop/restart the rsyncd service to make it read the rsyncd.conf file on windows. I wanted to mention that there was some bug that I ran into (you're not seeing it yet) when the backuppc was using protocol version 26 and windows running rsyncd. You might want to update the serve

It was a mixture of both! Stealing the configs from a pure linux rsync backuppc, I had: $Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/UPC'; Which I now changed to $Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'UPC'; And the new error makes even less sense to me, Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/mas90-server/XferLOG.bad.z, modified

I tried rsyncd, and still encounter problems. Fortunately they are different problems, so hopefully there is a known solution. Here is the current rsyncd.conf on the windows box: [UPC] /cygdrive/f/UPC hosts allow = 192.168.2.1 strict modes = false [apps] /cygdrive/g/apps hosts allow = 192.168.2.

I have Windows hosts, which I backup using rsyncd method. Each of these hosts have several shares which I want to backup: $Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['sDrive', 'tDrive', 'uDrive', 'vDrive']; The problem is, the Windows machine doesn't always have all these drives. Sometimes, it will be just 'sDri

I had this happen to me. In my case, I had an old version of File::RsyncP. If you go to cpan and type 'install File::RsyncP', it will tell you if you are up to date or not. The older protocol (v.66 I think) had a bug in it. I recall the new version is v.68 or v.69. Adjusting the timeout wil
