Concerning Backuppc and Windows systems, the issues pertained to the
interaction of Cygwin rsync < 3.0.0 and AFAIK Backuppc's perl
implementation of rsync. If issues remain with a cygwin rsync >= 3.0.0
then upgrading the rsync of the Backuppc server is not the solution as
Backuppc provides its own rsync.
There was a thread here a while back that noted that cygwin rsync v
3.0.3 appeared to solve the problems that plagued users before with
rsync over ssh. My testing confirms that this is so, BUT that issues
remain. As others here have noted, large files mysteriously can still
cause hiccups and my experience shows that this can happen with both
cygwin rsync over ssh and with rsyncd over ssh tunnel.
I now want to transfer these troublesome directories to a *nix box to
see if I can replicate the problems in a "native" environment.
