Since I cannot test under MS Windows, I need traces. Shuguang, could
you, pls, apply the settings as described in the Tramp manual, at the
bottom of (info "(tramp) Traces and Profiles") . Rerun your tests,
provoking a remote backup file. This produces a buffer *trace-output*,
which should tell us where the mysterious !drive_c! is prepended.

Best regards, Michael.
