Hi, I backup Windows XP as well as Windows Vista by using rsyncd. Thats working fine. But I have a difference between the used space in source and destination. Some of this differences are justified in my exclusions of pagefile.sys and hiberfile.sys. Another part, I am sure, by "System Volume Information". How to obtain the used space of "/cygdrive/c/System Volume Information"? du returns: du: cannot read directory `/cygdrive/c/System Volume Information': Permission denied br Matthias -- Don't Panic -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
