Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC Windows Client

I'm trying to work with this to get it to restore files to their original paths via rsyncd as well. Basically, I'm having the restore pre-cmd follow the same path as the dump pre-cmd ($type is helpful here), but bypassing vshadow and calling rsync with a different conf. Single file restores work (with updated 1.7.15 cygwin1.dll), but restoring directories sort of mangles ownership and permissions beyond the first level.

Do you guys have any suggestions for generic permissions-fixing when restoring to a cygwin-rsync system?

Thanks,

Kris Lou

Turns out it wouldn't create rsyncd.secrets unless the installation
directory already existed when the installer was started (whoops!)

I've fixed this, and a few other things, available here:
