Denis, Thanks for your response. > In the meanwhile you still have -B option to point to the darrc file, > and this works according to the tests I did. Well, I am setting a machine for backup with DarGUI (https://dargui.sourceforge.io/), and the application does not allow to specify additional scripts, but does allow to read config files $HOME/.darrc and /etc/darrc. As I described originally I was not able to use /etc/darrc. I also had a problem with $HOME/.darrc, as I figured out because of $HOME is not set in standalone cygwin.dll application. I was able to make dar started by dargui to read .darrc if I would set the HOME environment variable for the account, which I would prefer not to do. Finally I created .bat file for starting DarGUI that first sets HOME variable to directory containing .darrc and then launches DarGUI.exe So basically I achieved what I wanted, but it certainly would be nicer if the config files would automatically load on windows from some sane predefined location. So I will be looking forward for any fixes that you might come up with. Thanks, Vladimir
