similar to: RSync on Windows 2003

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.

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

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.

Hi, I have a problem of loss of file ownership with rsync. For some odd reasons, I have to use a windows machine as rsync server, and to backup/restore a filesystem from/to a linux client. All files in my linux filesystem are owned by root, with gid root. If I save the files onto the windows rsync server from linux using rsync, and then restore them back to linux, the ownership for all files

Yes I?m using cwrync 1.2.4 that it contains the 2.6.2 rsync version command. A problem I have to use cygwin is that I have implemented the cwrsync command in a script .js (jscript) then... Should I make a new script bash file for linux? or is it possible call cygwin?s rsync from a DOS shell line command? Thank you very much :) Jos? Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: Craig Barratt

Hi folks, It may be a very basic question for many people here but I have been struggling with Windows commandline. My CentOS machines are running perfectly fine. Question: I have installed cwRsync server on one of Windows 2003 and cwRsync client on the other Windows 2003. What command should I run to connect to the cwRsync server from the client? and how can I make sure that cwRsync is even

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

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

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

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?

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?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi: First let me say that rsync/cwrsync is amazing ! And sorry ! if I'm bothering you with this question...

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 using cwRsync which incorporates rsync-2.6.7 with Cygwin. I've got it set up as a server and it works for local directories but when I try to set up a module with path /cygdrive/m/dirname it tells me that it can't chdir to that path, error 2, no such file or directory. I copied Cygwin mount and ls to the machine and mount reports that /cygdrive/m is indeed there, and ls can

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 have great luck running rsync from one linux system to another, or from a windows system (with cwRsync) to a linux system. But when I try to do an rsync backup 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

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

Hi all, we are just beginning to dive into rsync. I have limited experience with just playing around with the examples and reading all the docs that I can. I just read an interesting post from a developer that mentions cwrsync is a minimalistic rsync and thus things like permissions are not transfered, the post was from 2004. Here are my questions Windows (cw)Rsync Client --> Linux Rsync
