Hi, I'm using rsync 2.6.2 (and cygwin 1.5.10) for backups of my folders on my PC. rsync cannot open two system subdirectories in my home directory: "Program Files" and "System Volume Information". I tried including them in the exclude-file, to no avail. I suspect the problem may be the spaces in the directory names, but I could find no reference to that. I have attached the file. Thanks, Mirko -- *m*irko*vukovic*-at-nycap-rr-com -------------- next part -------------- /cygdrive/d/home/temp/* ~/RECYCLER/* ~/Software-Add-Ons/site-lisp/idlwave-5.2 ~/Software-Add-Ons/info *.aab *.aaa *.aut ~/outlook /cygdrive/d/home/Program\ Files/ /cygdrive/d/home/System\ Volume\ Information/
