AFAIK, this is new in Win7; it +wasn't there in WinXP, which I have been using. + +I have just used this advantage to get around the following problem: + +Directories with spaces can be excluded in rsnapshot, by replacing the +space with a ?, but a bug in rsync prevents directories with spaces from +being backed up at all. In the parent Windows directory, I created a +symlink without spaces for the inaccessible sub-directory. I was able +to create it and add it to /etc/rsnapshot.conf, and the backup proceeded +to completion. Changing the name of the subdirectory would probably have +made it unusable by its Windows app. If Windows hadn't allowed it, I +would have put the link somewhere in Linux. + +Doug. + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="008188.html">[Mageia-discuss] Sometimes gdm selects KDE session by itself +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="008166.html">[Mageia-discuss] Symbolic links in Windows 7 +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#8165">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#8165">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#8165">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#8165">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
