Hello, Previous to my taking over as SysAdmin, the previous one had written a script called 'sync.bat' wich used rsync to backup the websites on our webservers to a secondary server, whose directory was mounted on the 'z:' drive. A sample from the script looks like this: cd c:\websites\0 for /D %%1 in (*.*) do c:\progra~1\rsync\rsync -avz --delete "/websites/0/%%1/" "//z/websites/0/%%1/" However, the location of the websites has moved to the D:\ drive, and so I made the following change: cd d:\websites\0 for /D %%1 in (*.*) do c:\progra~1\rsync\rsync -avz --delete "/websites/0/%%1/" "//z/websites/0/%%1/" However, when the script is run (which I discovered I had to do from the D:\ drive), I get the following error: rsync: building file list... rsync: 911 files to consider. rsync: read error: No children rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151) Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
