Backup Central

I notice one of my clients always has a number of transfer errors.. eg:

Remote[1]: file has vanished: "INNT/system32/j:\ebusiness/CSG - Backups From
Everyone Drive/Projects (Partial)/aicpa - exam group -
tutorial/final_04_24_03/exam_tutorial_source_04_24/support/flash/enter_formulas/Icon?"

I am using rsync (no ssh) to backup this particular share.

The interesting part, looking at the file in question, the last character is not
a '?'.. it rather looks like a '`' but I can't be sure in Windows Explorer..

At any rate, the errors are always on this type of file.. any ideas?

TIA
Tony

I got the same type of error during a backup of a Win2000 machine
(with RsyncD).

In the xfer-log:
-------
Remote[1]: file has vanished: "gdrive/c/WINNT/system32/c:/pagefile.sys" (in C)
-------

Could it be that this error message appears when RSync attempts to
xfer a file that's being modified? The machine was idle at the time of
the backup so pagefile.sys would have been the only file in use.

Also, the paths for all the files look wierd. Why is everything
prefixed with "gdrive/c/WINNT/system32/" ? My rsync module is c:, so
it isn't a problem with that.

The "file has vanished" message is a little misleading. It really just
means the file cannot be opened. There are two main possibilities:

- the file is opened by an application and is locked (unlikey since
you mention it happens each time).

- there is some internationalization problem related to special
characters in the file name. I would like to see exactly
what characters are in the file name.

Hope this helps:

Icon?
I 0x49
c 0x63
o 0x6f
n 0x6e
? 0x3f

In case I didn't mention it.. using rsync (no ssh) cygwin rsync server from
BackupPC distro.

pagefile.sys is the page file and is locked. The "vanished" message
just means rsync can't open the file.

Yes, this is some issue with how rsync reports path names under
cygwin.
