Instead I am now restoring the old version using: wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86/release/tar/tar-1.32-2.tar.xz -O /tmp/tar-1.32-2.tar.xz tar xvf /tmp/tar-1.32-2.tar.xz -C / which can be run from the cygwin console to restore the previous tar after cygwin setup. I will try the snapshot later locally. Best regards, Michael
