Re: [BackupPC-users] OT: rsyncd as a service on Windows 8

Not really: I have never run rsync on Windows 8. I *have* done it on Windows Server 2012 (based on Win8) with zero crashes across 3-4 servers on that OS and maybe 3 months of time. So it may not be a Windows 8 problem exactly, it may be just *your* Windows 8.

Have you checked the Event Viewer? It usually shows you what's going on with rsync...

If we don't know why it dies how can we fix it?

You can't, to my knowledge. I have wrapped launching rsync in a CMD to delete stale files before launching the daemon. (I hope I'm wrong: it would be nice not to need it!)
