Rsync, from an alternate perspective

[Stephen]

I figured out my error. for those who might want to bring rysnc over
to their windows boxes...

C:\opt\rsyncd\rsync.exe -uav "/cygdrive/c/docume~1/user"
"/cygdrive/e/filesync/backup" >>/cygdrive/e/rsync.log

thats the command i was using that now works, what i missed is that
you need to instead of use e:\ you need to do /cygdrive/e


The binary i was useing

http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/2.6.8_0/

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
