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

it is just a fancy interface on rsync but it is setup as a service and is quick and easy. Also, it doesnt conflict with cygwin in my experience.

- Can it coexist with a full cygwin install (I have cygwin installed
already) or does it have conflicts with the cygwin1.dll (or other
things?
- Is it doing something different from cygwin rsync/ssh or is it just
a nicer/cleaner UI? If so, what is different that makes it work
better?
Thanks
