Can anyone suggest a solution which works reliably for them including
both SSH + rsync or SSH + rsyncd on windows with BPC ?
So far. I've tried various combinations of the above with very
un-reliable results. One method I'm using now is openvpn + rsyncd, but
again that is also not reliable (because openvpn falls over so BPC can't
ping, so no backup (and no error)).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Bonus would be a solution that can backup open files...
Thanks,
Adam
