Damn! That part was missing, because actually I'm running rsnapshot
(thus the ssh tunnel and stuff) as root and completely forgot that now
it's "backuppc" the user running those commands. I've now created
rsa-keys and copied on the Windows client in the authorized_keys the
public key: it's working!

Sorry, forgot to attach screenshot, nevertheless: I'm not using any
passwords on the Windows client for cwRsync, but I've to check it again
after some trials...

You sure about having to put it to be 8874? Why this?
