Hi,

At http://www.alanbonnici.com/videos/cwrsync.asp I have just placed a 20 minute video tutorial on how to install, configure and transfer data using this product.

I still consider this to be a works-in-progress document and would appreciate any feedback, corrections or suggestions.

Regards,

Alan Bonnici

Hi, It's really good to see that a few months ago the 'sources of cwrsync' were released, which seems to be the versions of cygwin-packages used to build cwrsync and a bundle of patches against the rsync-version that was used at that time.

I've been looking at integrating Volume Shadow Copy (there was already a patch for rsync 2.x that Elias Penttilä made) with cwrsync.

But the sources made available by tk include 20 or so patches. And it doesn't specify which and in which order they should be applied, also there was a recent release and I think it might not be possible to apply them because of changes in the code of rsync.

tk could you do a new release of the source and add a list of which patches are applied in which order ?

The service won't start if Cygwin is already installed, due to cygwin1.dll version conflicts.
I removed Cygwin and another problem was the Cygwin path, which remained set in registry under the user account to the old Cygwin path. This caused bash to fail in sshd.

Solution:
1. Make sure Cygwin is not installed/uninstall it
2. Delete this regkey when enabling user: HKCU\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2
