[BackupPC-users] Questions about backing up windows clients

Hello:

Just starting to use backuppc. So far so good.

I have the linux backup server working backing up another linux server. Both are running Centos.

Now I want to add a windows (xp) client via remote backup.

While looking for this information on the web, I find it hard to tell what current info

and what is dated.

Here are my questions:

1. I read one recommendation for a remote (over the net) backup of a windows client. He suggested using

cygwin - rsync and ssh to access the windows client, it's faster than other alternatives,

and it is more secure. Is this current thinking?

2. If I use this approach, who starts the backup running: the client or the backup server?

3. Can anyone recommend a good source on how to configure this setup?

Thanks.

Lee
