Hi Kurt,
I would be interested in reading your HowTo for cygwin and rsncyd. As I
tried that on Windows and it was soooo sloooow, so, I went back to
Samba.

Let me know when you have done your HowTo and I'll put it through its
paces and add what ever else I find.

Thanks
Peter

I had a similar problem when backing up Windows-Clients to my 
BackupPC-Server. Transfer speed was very (no I mean verrrry) slow.
I've tried rsync over SSH (very slow with cygwin), I tried Samba (had 
problems with user-rights and you can not use exclude and includes at 
the same time) and now I'm using rsyncd and everything seems fine:

I'm recently writing a howto 'Backup Windows Clients with (cygwin) 
rsyncd and BackupPC', and I would be glad to hear feedback.

Best regards from Berlin
