Re: [BackupPC-users] Cygwin Rsync status?

[Timothy D. <dem...@ar...>]

Guys:

The package has been finished for a while, but still unreleased for a 
couple of issues:

1. rsync appears to require reverse DNS to work when using the command line 
client. I could not find a way to disable this. In a corporate environment 
this probably isn't a big deal, but since my test platform was on a home 
setup with no local DNS server, it doesn't work. I haven't tried running 
BackupPC against it without reverse DNS.

2. Some errors in rsync are not passed back to BackupPC (path limitations, 
locked files).

3. I'm waiting to hear back from Craig on how the package looks and if it 
worked for him.

Other than that, I'm using with BackupPC 2.0.0Beta2 (haven't upgraded yet) 
under Windows 2000 in an environment with locally controlled DNS with 
appropriate reverse entries and it works just fine. Windows XP should work 
as well.
