I don't know why, but it is working now. I exluded the .lnk files and
backup the d drive folder separately first. Then I included other
directories to backed up. Now I am backing up only '/cygdrive/d/sukh
/cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings' and it seems tobe working great.
Well, not 100% great, I am posting that problem in a different post shortly.
