I found a thread, https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-04/msg00008.html,
from last year where Corinna suggests the following (which works for her; she notes YMMV)
robocopy C:\cygwin64 F:\cygwin64 /e /purge /z /copyall /sl
On Win7, I'm on a old cygwin installation (thought I'd copy to more spacious disk before updating) I tried this command after ssh to an admin account, but the command terminates with
100% New File 210 shells
100% New File 1595 ssh_config
New File 668 ssh_host_dsa_key
2016/09/23 14:54:53 ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Copying File C:\cygwin64\etc\ssh_host_dsa_key
Access is denied.
where
$ ls -l ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw------- 1 cyg_server Administrators 668 Apr 20 2014 ssh_host_dsa_key
I don't know much about windows. Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Run robocopy as admin from an elevated command shell (bash or cmd) with Administrator privileges.
