Hello everybody I use cwrsync in a mixed servers network to make backup. I have a problem with Windows perms when rsync makes backups from Windows directorys like /winnt or /Documents and Settings. Rsync starts his job, but anytime when the console shows a message like this: "opendir "Area NET" (in unitd) failed: Permission denied" the job stop and the backup is uncompleted... The params I use are: -av --stats --backup --force --ignore-errors --timeout=3600 Then rsync stop his job (doesn?t ignore the mistake however I have the --ignore-errors option activate). The question is: must I surrender and use the --exclude option and lost the copy of these directory? or ?is there other soluction?. Thank you very much from Spain. Jos?

Hi, In the case your problem is caused by open files : -------------------------------------------------- AFAIK, as all other well-behaved backup solutions, rsync does not handle open files. They must be excluded some way or another. If you use Windows 2003, "openfiles" command gives you a list of open files. Output from this command can be used to generate an exclude-list that may comfort rsync. In the case your problem is due to lack of permissions : ----------------------------------------------------- Make sure that rsync user account has read permissions to directory structure you want to backup.

In the case your problem is due to lack of permissions : ----------------------------------------------------- Make sure that rsync user account has read permissions to directory structure you want to backup. When you say user account you?re referring to the launcher service account or to the launcher command account (session).
