Windows 10: cygwin rsync broken after Windows update

rsync /tmp/test.log /cygdrive/c/temp/
rsync: pipe: Connection timed out (116)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at pipe.c(122) [sender=3.1.2]

It used to work very well.

Is it because some new process prevent rsync from working, or is it because some back-end processes/services not started?
Please shed some light.
Thanks a lot in advance

:)

 

Permission issue when accessing rsync backed up data


I backed up my data to an external hard drive using rsync on Windows using cygwin+rsync. Below is example of the command:

Now, when I connect my external hard drive to another computer, I am unable to access my data. When I try to read or copy a folder, Windows says permissions denied. Attached are the screenshots of the error prompts I get when I try to access the data on the external hard drive.

Edit (partial solution found):
I came across a similar issue/solution by another user. By adding then noacl flag to the fstab file in the C/cygwin/etc/, I am able to avoid the permission issue. BUT the permission issue is only fixed on all NEW/UPDATED files/folders I sync. All existing data still have the permission issue despite rerunning rsync command.

How do I fix the permissions of all my existing data? It is very strange I never had this issue until after updating cygwin and rsync yesterday. How can I ensure my data on the external hard drive will be accessible by any computer?

Use rsync on Windows machine

Hi, I want to use rsync to copy file from a remote Linux server.

And I have only one url (example): rsync://export@10.123.101.225/folder/dmp_db.sql.gz

I've tried DeltaCopy but I can't create a new profile, it fails.

Is there any other convenient way to use rsync on Win10 PC?

Any advice sill be appreciated!
