Subject: [BackupPC-users] rsync with windows/cygwin

Hello. I am testing BackupPC since a few days for backing up Windows PCs.


Most information i   got tell me to use rsyncd when it comes to windows machines due to a bug.


As i run into problems with rsyncd+ssh i wonder if the rsync problem still persists or if it can be used now.


About the rsyncd problem: rsyncd trys to connect directly and is not using the ssh tunnel. I found documents about this problem but if rsync would work i would save the time solving the problem.


Thx for your help

Here is how I did it.  If you don't want to use Microsoft's VSS, that part can be skipped.
