similar to: rsync not saving files on windows 2000

Hi all, I'm rsyncing a windows 2003 client to a windows 2003 server using the cwrsync installation package. The trouble is that the permission rights set by rsync on the destination server are very restrictive and don't allow another application to access the files. I'd like to change that. However, the GID and UID parameters in the rsyncd.conf file don't seem to manage that.

Hi gang. I am synchronizing Windows machines (cwRsync/cygwin) with FreeBSD server. A batch file is used to initiate the process (shell invoked rsync daemon). My question is whether I need to tell my users to close any affected applications (ex: Outlook; I am synchronizing the outlook.pst file) during the procedure?

NetWare 6 sp4 server to windows 2000 server using cwrsync 1.2.1 when the cwrsync service writes the files to the server it uses it's own username and permissions. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get this to write the files so common users and delete and change stuff? would the perverse permissions work with windows? Thanks, Matt Vorwald Network Engineer Lumber

Hi, I'm using rsync with cygwin to synchronize two windows servers. I've got files in server side with full permisions to Administrator user, but when i synchronize it with another windows server, the file placed in client side has a new group called NONE with read , write and execute permisions. I'm using the following line to call rsync: rsync -zvvvr --perms --owner --group

I'm having prolems with cwRsync on server 2003. I'm getting pretty much identical results to this from the archive: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-April/009187.html, and as far as I can see the only suggestion there was to check permissions. I have one further complication too- I'm trying to sync a remote server on to a vmware virtual disk that I've mounted using the

Hi, Is the rsync-minimalist still supported for windows? I am using Windows XP Home. I am testing, to get a solution for a client. The minimalist looked very nice--a cygwin.dll and an rsync and an ssh.exe. However, I can connect with ssh, but not with rsync over ssh using these files. I have also tried plink from putty with this rsync. I gather from a lot of the messages that the consenus is

Since upgrading to 2.6.8 with the tag 3 patch, I've been consistently getting an error using rsync. We have about 100 servers using the client to a central backup server and the issue is repeatable on the servers having the problem. About 10 of the servers are having the problem. The error reported by rsync is: Invalid file index: -1019607330 (count=8353) [sender] rsync error: protocol

I use rsync for backing up windows. After a restore of Desktop.ini I recognize that the hidden attribut and the system attribut will not been restored. I know, this are no unix attributes. But is there a way to backup and restore the windows attributes too? Thanks Matthias -- Don't Panic

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

I've just tried upgrading to cwrsync 2.1.0 (Rsync version 3.0.0 protocol version 30) between 2 Windows XP Pro sp2 machine across the Internet. I used: SET CYGWIN=nontsec SET HOME=c:\cwrsync\bin C:\cwrsync\bin\rsync -za -u -P --delete --recursive /cygdrive/c/test2/ stuart@test.address.co.uk::test/ When I run the above batch script on the remote machine I get this odd output.

Hello, I'm desperately trying to have a RSync server work on a Windows 2003 Standard Server. All the documentation available I have found applies to Windows NT/2000/XP I don't know whether 2003 works differently from the previous Windows. I have installed the cwrsync package. The RSyncServer Service is running fine under a user account named cwrsync. A successful Telnet on the port 873

Hi all! We're using cwrsync server 2.0.4 on winxp to keep files up to date between some operator machines. Whenever I run rsync to send files to another machine, the read-only flag gets set. The cwrsync user was created (the install is completely standard)... so I'm thinking it might have something to do with that. Here's my rsyncd.conf: use chroot = false strict modes = false

I'm trying to use rsync to keep the permissions between two Windows servers. A windows NT 4 server (with rsync daemon) and windows 2003 R2 I use Rsync in a batch file and I run it as Administrator by double clicking on it. Typically: set cygwin=notnsec rsync -rpDPo --chmod=Du+rwx,Fu+rwx,+X and the files are crossed over but the permissions are screwed up. Now, I can't find out the

Using cwRsync on Windows, is there any way to get the standard rsync stats at the end? It does not look like '--stats' is an option for cwRsync and verbose does not provide the stats. -- Robert

We were trying to introduce a better client side log format so that we could get timestamps and module names etc. In the rsync documentation it looks like you can use --log-format for the client ... there is even a sentence saying that this format would not interfere with the rsybc daemons format. We are using cwrsync and when we try and add --log-format="%o %h [%a] %m (%u) %f %l" The

Hello, I am trying to Backup a Windows Machine to a Linux Server - and I want to preserve the ACLs. I installed the cwRsync server on the Windowsside (with the rsync-acl.exe) and I am trying to backup this machine from the linux-side usind rsnapshot. But the files lose the acls and get user:400 and group:401! Did anybody manage this task? If yes - how??????? Thanks in advance Fink Oliver

I have set up an Rsync server on FreeBSD 5.3 and plan on having windows clients synchronize data to it. Rsync running as a daemon works fine. I can successfully copy data up to the server and view it via scp. Also- I can connect via ssh and run rsync as well. HOWEVER- I cannot connect "passwordless" with SSH and then connect to the rsync daemon. The following demonstartes what I

Hi, I'm very interested in learning the status of the --ignorecase patch being included in the main tree... is there a reason it still isn't in there? For anyone who is forced to dealing with backing up windows boxes, this is a big problem, and I can't believe that it isn't affecting a lot of people... Or maybe there is a simple workaround? I'm trying to backup files

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem on rsync with the --delete option. Situation: Server = Mandrake Linux 9.2 running rsync daemon Client = Windows XP workstation running cygwin + rsync2.5.1 combined with ssh. All this implemented conform the website of Robert Scholten (http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/) Every thing seems to work fine exept for the --delete option. The rsync says:
