The first versions I put on my website are all 'development-quality code' 
created to be able to
handle read-only daemon-like operations and is still hardcoded to always use 
VSS, I'm still
working on getting it stable enough just to handle that one task.

Thus read-only daemon usage is the only usage-pattern I've tested or used at 
this point,
everything else might be broken at any point in time. And probably will be.

One of the things that needs to be done to make daemon mode work correctly is
to make it configurable.

When that is done, it automatically means by default it's off and after that I 
can start
looking at the client version.

So for everything else you just need to be patient or help me with the code. My 
intention is to make
all those things work, but rsync isn't code I'm very familair with and the 
VSS-code came from Elias.

Which means it's also not mine, so a large part of what I'm doing is trying to 
understand what is
handled how and where.

I hope that answers your questions.
