I tried that on C:\cygwin; it gave an error message without copying anything. I suspect that was because this directory tree included links to the top-level directories of all of the Windows drives, including the one holding the Windows 7 operating system. I found a way to see the robocopy instructions; it looks like I'll need to read them thoroughly in order to tell it to copy the links but not what they point to. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
