Thanks Larry,
One step to the goal ;-)
I lost my /etc/passwd and /etc/group. Do not know why :-(
I create new ones with:
bin>mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
bin>mkpasswd -g > /etc/group
create a new file /etc/test.txt
bin>ls -alh /etc/test.txt
bin>-rwx------+ 1 meyer Kein 0 Dec 1 23:01 /etc/test.txt
Than I run a backup:
After that my backup-protocol shows:
create 644 18/544 0 etc/Test.txt
But 18/544 is SYSTEM:Administratoren
as /etc/passwd -> SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
and /etc/group -> Administratoren:S-1-5-32-544:544:
shows.
I've tried this with both, "cygrunsrv -I backup ..." as well as
with "cygrunsrv -I backup -e CYGWIN=nontsec ..."
Any further hint?
Thanks
Matthias
