Hi, I have a windows client that has been working fine for over a year and now there are three files in the 6 - 7GB range that it just ignores. I am using cygwin-rsyncd 2.6.6 and backuppc 2.1.2. I was able to force a backup of one large file by excluding all other directories except for the one with the large file in it. Then it backed up fine. Appreciate any ideas or hints on what could be happening and what I need to do to fix it. cheers, ski -- "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it connected to the entire universe" John Muir Chris "Ski" Kacoroski, kac...@gm..., 206-501-9803 or ski98033 on most IM services |

I was able to get rsync to work on XP only after upgrading to rsync version 3.0 and using rsyncd (rather than rsync). Several others have noticed similar issues with isolated files. Though I can't say I have backed up any files that big. |
