Re: [BackupPC-users] Windows 2000 server and windows 2003 server

I have found that rsyncd usually needs to be run with administrator rights. Trying to get it to run as a regular user or a system account has always failed for me. With your connection refused message, I suspect that rsyncd is not running at all. try either using nmap or telnetting to the windows box at port 873. If those fail or don't show activity at port 873, rsyncd isn't running on the windows box, so there is nothing for the backuppc machine to connect to.

Most likely, you'll have much better backups with rsyncd instead of samba, so I'd encourage you to get that working.

Peace,
Jim

That is what thought. But I think the problem is backuppc need to
pass windows user name and password first before it could launch
rsync, which is I do not know how to do it. Looks like the normal way
of rsync require windows "already open".
