<< Assuming the above was all on one line: 
YES!
<< Rsync.exe -a -v --progress --delete --ignore errors --force
<< /cygdrive/N/	##-- this is the N drive ####### the source
<< /cygdrive/		##--  this is ALL the drives that cygwin can find
<< "//SPEICHER/...	##--  this is the TARGET.  The above TWO parameters are sources.

Why TWO parameters??? As I read I must use "cygdrive" under windows for each drive. (Source and target)

<< This comes from the SECOND SOURCE PARAMETER /cygdrive/
