Re: [BackupPC-users] What is the latest on getting cygwin rsync/ssh to work for BackupPC

I have posted this a few times but here it is again.
Instead of installing cygwin completely, install Deltacopy instead.
1) It is rsync on windows via cygwin
2) it has a nice GUI
3) directorys available via rsync are settable via aliases. (Documents and Settings can be "docs")
4) can use authentication to provide some basic security.
5) runs as a service
6) service can be run under a username that is capable of reading all files but not writing
I use this extensively while backing up windows desktops.

Apparently it works with that version for other people (but I'm just quoting,
I don't backup Windoze ;-).
