Hi guys,

I've always used BackupPC to backup Linux machines. Although, I have used backuppc to backup a windows machine using both smb and rsyncd as the backup method before.

Now I'm trying to backup a Windows 2003 machine using rsyncd, but I ran into some problems. Here are the details:

I installed cygwin to use rsyncd to backup the Windows machine.

Now, whenever I start the backup for this machine, I get the following error:

backup failed (auth failed on module cDrive)

According to the cygwin README, this happens when "strict modes = false" is not enabled. But I checked the rsyncd.conf file, and it is in fact enabled. I also even tried setting the rsyncd.secrets file to "read-only", but still got the same error message.

Here's the error that I get in the rsync.log file in the Windows client:

2008/09/11 16:50:11 [808] name lookup failed for 38.96.232.5: temporary failure in name resolution.
2008/09/11 16:50:11 [808] connect from UNKNOWN (38.96.232.5)
2008/09/11 16:50:11 [808] auth failed on module cDrive from UNKNOWN (38.96.232.5): password mismatch

I was able to "rsync -av user@server::testDir" from the backuppc server just fine, so I'm sure that the password is correct.

And here's the error that I get when I do "rsync -av user@server::testDir":

2008/09/11 17:01:53 [1680] rsync: readlink "ygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/c:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5/5P67ZD01/2PT90CA8XLL38CA0U40GQCA1FK8BACAZT3GEWCAK9QIS5CA16IWE2CAFJSYFECAV3JK1ACA5G5VFVCAA6A4I2CACLKQXYCATC2C2XCAR3TUG8CAFF1F9YCAK0I8U2CA21NYRNCA13U92ACA9B87K5.gif" (in cDrive) failed: File name too long (91)
2008/09/11 17:01:56 [1680] rsync: readlink "ygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/c:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5/5P67ZD01/WOLWGCAFT002BCA1Y3C86CARZAB07CA5MJ08ICACFK9MMCAX29TKACATEFR17CAB25YPYCAS0UBZ7CAQPNNYACA443DA5CAM5DLO7CALBN2T1CADP0P8NCA5Q2ZKVCAC6BSHYCA2C2B5WCAHSO6CC.gif" (in cDrive) failed: File name too long (91)

Although, I don't think that this error above has anything to do with "backup failed (auth failed on module cDrive)".

Could any help me on finding out what's causing this error and how I can fix this?

Regards,
--Bruno
