Windows Trouble with --link-dest set: "file not found" when rsync tries to create hard link
...kup from one directory on a Windows
system to another, it fails. The cwRsync says its version is 2.6.9.
Here's my Rsync command, boiled down to its simplest:
rsync -rlptgD -vvv --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=2
--numeric-ids --link-dest=/cygdrive/c/crapbackup/backup4
/cygdrive/c/BackupSource/ /cygdrive/c/crapbackup/backup5/
I run this over and over, incrementing backup4 to backup5 for
link-dest and backup5 to backup6 on the target dir.
I can watch the new backups being created, I can see the files going
over. The hard links are never created, however. After wrestling with
this a lot...
