Subject: [BackupPC-users] New versions of Shadowmountrsync with Windoze ACL
 and cygwin 1.7 support posted to Wiki

I have posted the latest versions of 'shadowmountrsync' and the
one-liner cmd.exe helper script 'shadowexec.cmd' to the Backuppc Wiki.

https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=User_Scripts_-_Client_-_Windows_VSS

To paraphrase the Wiki:

Shadowmountrsync automatically sets up Window shadow copies, mounts
them, and launches the rsync daemon without requiring any special
configuration or changes to your existing (non-shadow) rsyncd.conf
script. It also cleanly unwinds all the above when you are done
rsyncing your files. As a result, you should now be able to back up
any (and all) files that are locked under Windows such as registry
files (e.g. ntuser.dat) and databases (e.g. Outlook).

The latest version of the script also optionally dumps gzipped
versions of the ACLs (either in 'getfacl' and/or 'subinacl' format)
for each drive for automatic inclusion in each share backup. 

The latest version also includes a number of minor bug fixes and
extensions.

The Change Log is as follows:
 0.4.0 Updated for new Cygwin which doesn't like Win32 paths
 0.4.1 Allow arbitrary cygdrive path prefixes ${CYGDRIVEPREFIX}
 0.4.5 Add option to backup ACL's on each volume pre shadow/rsync launch
       Changed '--strict' option to '--expire' -- see details
       Bug fixes, code cleanup, additional logging instrumentation
 0.4.5.1 Added ability to backup ACLs using 'subinacl' in addition to 'getfacl'

If you have trouble downloading or using these scripts or if you find
bugs or have enhancement requests, please post to the BackupPC mailing
list and I will try to help.

More generally, feedback and bug reports are always welcome.

Jeff
