Yeah there is; I couldn't get the rsyncd-package for cygwin to work out. I get 
an "inet connect: Connection refused"-error when I try running the backup.

Unfortunately I know too little about the authentication mechanism in Cygwin. 
I'll look into it during the day.

Anyway, that's why I tried out other ways to connect to the Windows machine. 
You know, the rule of least resistance... ;-)

Thanks for all the hints so far. I'll be back with an update later.
