The traditional problem with Backuppc and cygwin of a rsync over ssh
freeze on any sizeable back up has disappeared with Cygwin and rsync
3.0.3 and greater, as one can get a completed run. I had machines that
always failed and that now complete. There are however seemingly big
file issues (eg. *.pst files of ca. 2 gigs or so (VSS copied to temp
directory so file locking is not the issue!)) that strike me not on the
initial full which completes, but on subsequent incremental runs when
the exchange of differential info hangs.
So I guess it is a case of YMMV.
