Hi, I was able to rsync with a linux machine from a PC, but I cant seem to rsync to the PC, I was wondering if there was anyway i can use this rsync as a server instead of just a client

Doug,

You only need to install cwRsync once, then use a path like the one below in the “from” section of the command:

rsync -varz — delete “/cygdrive/d/source/” “/cygdrive/z/target/”

Where /cygdrive/d/source/ is equivalent to D:\source\
and /cygdrive/z/target/ is Z:\target\

Claude.

I am also looking for pointers on how to back up files and folders on different drives within my local server. I was able to install rsync on my C drive and tested and it worked fine. then, in thinking i needed to install rsynch on the drive with the files i want to back up, it stopped working. When i tried to backup a file while it was working, I got an error saying both locations cannot be remote.

Thanks

Doug

Those who are getting:
building file list … rsync: link_stat “/cwRsync” failed: No such file or directory (2)

I got round this by changing “/cwRsync” to “cwRsync”

Great article David and it works a treat. rsync is a fab program and it’s great to see it’s so easy on Windows. Need a pointer however — anyone have this working with dirs/file names containing spaces? This is pretty common on Windows, eg if I want to back up “My Documents” there’s one right there. My problem is with the target directory (ie, the Strongsapce directory) — can’t seem to get the syntax right for that. Anyone help?

I’ve changed the “RSYNC_RSH” variable to “C:\cwRsync\bin\ssh.exe” and it works now.

It’s me again. Rebooting my maching seemed to have done the trick.

Problem now is, when I enter the “rsync -avz…” command above, I get the follwing error (I’ve removed the number following the “sender=” part just in case it’s meant to be private):
===============================================
rsync: Failed to exec ssh.exe: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at pipe.c(83) [sender=OMITTED]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sende
r]
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at io.c(463) [sender=OMITTED]
===============================================

Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated — thanks!
