"he problem (likely) is that ssh logs in as the SYSTEM (or equivalent)
user that doesn't have permission to run vss.exe. I get around that by
using a recursion script to escalate privileges via 'at'. I imagine
perhaps that winexe allows for direct launching of vss.ex. "

I created a windows user named backupPC who is in the administrator group and 
the ssh logs me as backupPC.

My teach wants us to use cygwin or some equivalent software, guess I'll have to 
use cygwin.

I'm kinda stuck right now.

I installed cygwin on my windows server. When using cygwin I'm atomatically 
logged in as backupPC (backupPC@serverName), which means that I'll appear as 
cyg_server which is a memeber of administrators.

On my backupserver I tried to open an ssh tunel by doing this :
-log in as bakuppc user 
- created rsa key in ~/.ssh/
- cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh backupPC@windows_server_ip "cd .ssh && cat - >> 
~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
- I then do a ssh manually : ssh bakcupPC@windows_server_ip
- I do this once again and I don't have to put in my password which means that 
the tunnel works right?

Yet when I try to backup my windows server I always get two errors depending on 
my modifications : 
-> Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes)
or :
-> Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)

here's my configuration : 
XFerMethod : rsync
RsyncShareName : /sygdrive/c/xdx (<--just to do my tests)
RsyncClientPath : /usr/bin/rsync
RsyncClientCmd : $sshPath -q -x -l backupPC $host $rsyncPath $argList+
RsyncClientRestoreCmd : $sshPath -q -x -l backupPC $host $rsyncPath $argList+

NmbLookupCmd : $nmbLookupPath -A $host 

My error change if I modify backupPC by backuppc in RsincClientCmd (backupPC 
being a user on my windows server and backuppc being the one created 
automatically on my backup server)

I'm sorry for my poor english

Thank you once again for helping me!
