Re: [BackupPC-users] Rsync to Windows client very slow

no. rsyncd only does an MD4 challenge, but does not encrypt the transfer. to encrypt the transfer you must use ssh or some sort of VPN tunnel.
Typically, rsync-over-ssh will not be remarkably slower that rsync->rsyncd but on windows the cygwin ssh server is not very fast.
Has anyone tried freesshd for windows? I cannot tell if it is using cygwin or not. seems the cygwin is a slow point with ssh, so and alternate ssh server on windows could improve the situation.

Is the data encrypted when I choose rsyncd as transfer method in BackupPC?
