The following line says the problem still remains with BackupPC, though. 
I'm not sure if plain rsync 3.0/ssh works over cygwin, but it definitely 
doesn't with BackupPC, which uses the File::RsyncP perl module which 
uses the older protocol 28 instead of 30. Maybe someone who knows more 
about it could tell us if it was fixed, and I can update the guide.

No, see above.
