similar to: rsyncing from 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.

Amongst various problems I am having, I am trying to run an rsync daemon on a windows 2003 server with cygwin installed. It works fine, except that I can't seem to get the daemon to chdir to any file that is remotely mounted from my Netapp. Other windows shares or local disks chdir just fine. very weird. I think it has something to do with the automapping of shares in cygwin. Any help

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, 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

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 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?

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

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

I have a problem with rsync 2.6 protocol 27 (both client and server) running over XP via Cygwin and sshd (on remote machine). It just hangs almost randomly while transfering files after transfering a few megabytes, not always on the same file. When the remote machine is a Linux server I have no problems, bad news is I need also to rsync from XP... I found the problem mentioned somewhere

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

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 am trying to setup a windows 2000 server with rsync and cygwin. I think I almost have it working except that when the file copy is finished my files are nowhere to be found on the windows server. I am not getting any error messages. I am connecting from a win98 machine on the same network. Any ideas on how I can get this working or get more info to debug. Thanks.

I have gotten an Rsync daemon set up on my Linux server. But I want to use my Windows XP computer to upload files to an Rsync module on the server. The problem is, Rsync won't work on my Windows computer. I have tried compiling various versions of Rsync in Cygwin, and nothing works. It's not a firewall problem, because I have disabled my firewall and tried to Rsync, and it still

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

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

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

Hi, I want to disable windows suspend before starting backup by rsync. My rsyncd.conf: ----------------- max connections = 6 log file = /var/log/backup-service.log read only = false write only = false transfer logging = no list = false max verbosity = 6 pre-xfer exec = powercfg /H off [C] path = /cygdrive/c/ [D] path = /cygdrive/d/ ----------------- Unfortunately that didn't work.

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 guys, I recently installed and setup cwRsync on a Windows 2000 Server - http://www.itefix.no/cwrsync/ -, and I was very impressed. I just followed the instructions on the website and got it working. I am using it to mirror 30Gb's of mailboxes everynight (only grabbing the changes to each file), from a Windows 2000 box to a Linux box (RH9). The nightly replication takes approximately 8
