Hi,

I'm struggling with a strange fact using rsnapshot with cron on windows 
xp + cygwin.

When starting rsnapshot from the Cygwin shell with

        # rsnapshot hourly

everything works fine - but when the same command is run from cron I got 
the error message:

[07/May/2008:23:02:09] /bin/rsnapshot hourly: ERROR: backup /cygdrive/p/ 
localhost/ - Source directory "/cygdrive/p/" \ doesn't exist

My crontab-file (should start rsnapshot at 11pm):

        00 23 * * * rsnapshot hourly

The drive P: is a truecrypt mounted volume that can be backed up 
manually from the Cygwin Shell without a problem.

Question: Who comes that with the same rsnapshot-configuration-file the 
backup fails when started from cron?
