[BackupPC-users] BackupPC and Windows/ Cygwin clients via ssh/ rsync

backuppc-users:

I am a BackupPC newbie who has installed BackupPC on a dedicated Debian
4 machine and is successfully backing up Linux and FreeBSD machines via
ssh/ rsync.  Good stuff!  :-)


However, when I attempt to backup Windows XP Professional SP3/ Cygwin
machines via ssh/rsync, BackupPC will process anywhere from dozens to
hundreds of files and then hang, usually on a large file (console
session follows).


RTFM and STFW, I found various items, but no resolution.


I tried invoking rsync from the server console to pull in files from a
Windows/ Cygwin machine, but the process also hanged.


I think the problem lies with Cygwin, but don't know how to troubleshoot
it.


Has anybody been able to get BackupPC working with Windows/ Cygwin
clients via ssh/ rsync?


TIA,

David
