Hi,
not sure if anyone has come across this before.  I have a full backup of a 
windows 2003 X86_64 R2 server.  This includes an NT system state job to capture 
the parts the backuppc cannot backup nativly.

The backup has a C$ share and a D$ share contained in it.
I'm using cygwin with rsync version 2.6.9 on the windows server running as an 
rsyncd system service.

I can restore the D$ share without any problems.  But when I try and restore 
the C$ share to the C: drive of a rebuilt server.  Backuppc says it has 
restored the files but when I check on the hard drive several files under 
C:\windows\system32\drivers have not been restored.

This means that when I restore the system state and reboot I get unrecoverable 
boot errors. So I have to rebuild the server from scratch.

I have managed to restore some of the driver files to the root of the D: drive. 
 But when I try and restore them with the full path to the D$ drive I get an 
error saying mkdir failed.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
