Hello,
back again, just still experimenting this solution, everything is ok while 
reading.

But, i'm used to restore data on Windows PC using the chmod command 
"--chmod=Dugo+rwx,Fugo+rwx" to allow user to read files.

Because rsync runs as daemon under system account, writen files are not 
readable, so i use the chmod.

This work great with the "normal" rsync.exe binary, but with the one using VSS 
(wich is perfect for backup) the chmod doesn't work.

I think there's something to do with the fact that VSS is active by default, 
and then, when writing data, it first write to VSS and then sync to drive.
In this case, chmod doesn't work, and restored file is not readable.

So, may you help ? I think getting the ability to disable VSS using flag like 
"--novss" could be great for restoration purposes.

Hope you understand what i mean, et maybe you got an idea. I use rsync as a 
deamon using deltacopy on the windows side.

Thank you for any help/idea/new version :p ....
