Post Rsnapshot no longer is able to backup Windows 2003 Server 
Hi,

I'm trying to figure out why rsnapshot v1.3.1 is not able to backup a Windows 2003 box. It used to back it up with no problem but for the past several weeks, it keeps failing. The /var/log/rsnapshot.log shows the following: (btw, IP address has been masked w/ xxx.xxx.xxx.x)
[15/Dec/2011:11:59:11] /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude=/System?Volume?Information --port=873 --link-dest=/home/Backups/weekly.1/winbox/Drive_E rsync://xxx.xxx.xxx.x/drive_e /home/Backups/daily.0/winbox/Drive_E
[15/Dec/2011:11:59:11] /usr/local/bin/rsnapshot daily: ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 10 while processing rsync://xxx.xxx.xxx.x/drive_e/

If I run the above command from the rsnapshot server at the command prompt, I get the following error:
[root < at > rsnapshot-server ~]# /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude=/Backups/HS_Mirror/ --exclude=/System?Volume?Information --port=873 --link-dest=/home/Backups/weekly.1/winbox/Drive_E rsync://xxx.xxx.xxx.x/drive_e /home/Backups/daily.0/winbox/Drive_E

< at > ERROR: Unknown module 'drive_e'
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1506) [Receiver=3.0.7]


On the Windows 2003 server, I'm running cwRsyncSever 4.1.0 with the following rsync.conf:
use chroot = false
strict modes = false
hosts allow = rsnapshot-server
log file = rsyncd.log
pid file = rsyncd.pid
port = 873

# Module definitions
[drive_e]
path = /cygdrive/e
read only = true
transfer logging = no
Rsync is running on the Windows box:
C:Documents and SettingsAdministrator>netstat
Active Connections
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP win-server:873 rsnapshot-server:38419 ESTABLISHED
And I can connect from the rsnapshot linx server:
[root < at > ibx33 ~]# telnet win-server 873
xxx.xxx.xxx.x...
Connected to win-server (xxx.xxx.xxx.x).
Escape character is '^]'.
< at > RSYNCD: 29
I appreciate any suggestions to help me get this windows box working again.

Thanks,

SW
