[BackupPC-users] Using ssh and rsync for Windows

Hi,

I'm trying to speed up my backups a bit by switching from smb based backups to rsync based backups on Windows.

On my Windows 2003 Server, I install cygwin with cygrunsrv, openssh, and rsync, and it all seems to work.

My issue is that BackupPC wants to log in as 'root' to do the backup, but there is no root user. Before I go and add a root user, and try to add root to the right groups, is there something I'm missing?

cygwin already setup an adminstrator user... can I set up BackupPC to use that?

Has anyone else managed to do this? I found some info, but not a lot. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gerald
