Hi,

As of today, I have all my Windows Servers being backed up via rsync (not 
rsyncd) and ssh.  I can now manage my Linux and Windows backups the same way.

My solution doesn't require dosdev.exe, it uses vshadows ability to map a 
shadow copy to any directory.

BackupPC ssh's into the windows box and runs my bash script 'pre-backuppc.sh', 
then ssh's in to do the rsync backup, and when done, ssh's in runs 
post-backuppc.sh.

I borrowed some stuff from other peoples scripts (specifically the 'at' command 
stuff to get permissions to run vshadow.exe), and the rest is really simple.

If anyone is interested, I can post the scripts here, and how I setup cygwin 1.7
