[BackupPC-users] rsync 3.09 fails on windows symlinkd
2014-09-17 10:52:38
I've been using a powershell script to create shadow copies and link
them to the filesystem in order to expose them to rsyncd. This works
with my oldish copy of DeltaCopy rsync, but when I use the current
cygwin-rsync package from the BackupPC web site I'm not able to follow
the link.
If I tell it to follow the link:
rsync -r -L rsyncuser@host::shadow
symlink has no referent: "C" (in shadow)
drwxr-xr-x 0 2014/09/17 11:32:30 .
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors)
(code 23) at main.c(1538) [generator=3.0.9]
If I don't tell it to follow the link:
rsync -r
behdadrsync AT cbe-win7amd64.che.wisc DOT edu::shadowdrwxr-xr-x 0
2014/09/17 11:37:30 .
lrwxrwxrwx 54 2014/09/17 11:37:30 C
On the windows side:
dir c:\shadow
09/17/2014 09:27 AM <SYMLINKD> C
[\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume....
I have use "chroot = no" in rsyncd.conf
I've also tried a variety of links related switches on the rsync client.
Googling "symlink has no referent: windows"
turns up a few other people with this problem
Anyone been able to solve this one?
Thanks
