<p class=MsoNormal><b> If
this isn’t the correct list for cwRsync issues, I apologize and hope
someone can point me in the right direction. Otherwise, keep reading …<o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I
noticed something odd today with one of our backups. I have an NT 2000
machine that pushes files to a 2003 Server machine and today someone brought to
my attention that the backup seems to have well over 100GiB more than the
primary server. When I checked and compared the drives, sure enough there
was. Now, I have cwRsync set to --delete and --delete-excluded and
looking at the log file it’s doing what it’s supposed to be doing
and deleting (some) stuff, so this was baffling. There were no errors
indicating it couldn’t delete files, nothing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Doing
a little bit more investigating I find that some of the folders on the backup
server (which is the 2003 Server) had “invalid permissions” (as vague
as only Windows can be of course). Right-clicking on the folder and going
into Properties -> Security, I’d get a message telling me the permissions
were “invalid” and it gives me an opportunity to fix/reset
them. Well that’s all fine and dandy, however here’s where I’m
scratching my head:<o:p></o:p></p>

did those folders end up with “incorrect permissions” if no one

cwRsync had a problem with those folders (and couldn’t delete them), why
would it not indicate that in the log file?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>Needless to say this is causing
quite a bit of head scratching today. I’ve reset all the folders
and will check tomorrow morning after the sync ran overnight so see whether it
did delete those folders as it should.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>Anyone got any suggestions?<o:p></o:p></p>
