That's a very good observation and an important clue. The file header in
any tar file is limited to 100 characters, and there is a special extension

The $Conf{InstallDir} setting isn't used to find the libraries. It's just
to help configure.pl find the installation location the next time you
upgrade.
Look at the first few lines of code in /usr/local/backuppc/bin/BackupPC for

Yes, the cygwin-rsync release is very out of date.
That old patch contained some performance improvements and added the
--checksum-seed option, both of which have been included upstream circa
rsync 2.6.2. So the README file is out of date - there is no longer a diff
file.

Jean,
I should have been clearer in my explanation. This isn't a user feature in
4.0.0 that allows users to delete any backup.
What I was trying to say was that 4.0.0 includes the ability to delete any
backup, while maintaining the consistency of the reverse deltas. That
simplifies the deletion
Yes - you have the right solution. These files shouldn't be in the release.
I was using a new MacOSX machine, and I botched the final tarballs for

added the MacOSX AppleDouble files, which contain metadata which is useless
Thanks to Ray Frush, I have released a new version of cygwin-rsyncd, the
cygwin-based rsync for WinXX-based client machines. As users have noted,
the prior version is many years old.
The released files can be found on SF.net at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/3.0.9
John,
I would like to post questions for BackupPC, kindly grant me the access and
