Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc cygwin rsync fails to write files to C drive.

test test test Have you tried using rsync to write a file back to your server from the command line of your backuppc server. In the end, this is essentially what backuppc is doing. If you cant get the rsync to go then you can focus on that and if you get it to go you can look at your config diff
