Hi Heinrich,

I had a lot of difficulty getting rsync to work over ssh for Windows 
clients and ended up creating the tunnels beforehand like your [1]. You 
can't use the standard rsync over ssh in BackupPC without doing it over 
a premade tunnel.

I've been working on an installation guide for XP/Vista from notes of my 
process. I wasn't quite ready to share it, but as it might help you here 
it is: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~cdunne/projs/backuppc_guide.html

Let me know if it helps you!
