Thx fort he tip. I checked the client config file and found this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/cygdrive/e/daten/install' => [
''
],
'/cygdrive/e/daten/Profile' => [
''
]
It looks so bad lol i cant tell. I have to see how i managed to get that done via the webinterface.
I started a new attempt with the correct format (webinterface looks better now also). But still it backs up the Profile folder. Could it be i need to delete the backups done so far as they contain parts of the /Profile folder ?

Betreff: Re: [BackupPC-users] rsync with windows/cygwin
There was a bug in older versions of cygwin/rsync which did not work as a "server" over ssh. It would hang up, so you had to run rsync as a daemon and set up shares. However, that has since been fixed, so you should be able to run rsync/ssh just fine.
I suspect your problem with BackupFileExclude is that you are not including the full path. If you are using a Windows client, your full path will be something like "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/<something to not backup>". If you are neglecting the /cygdrive/c/ part, that may be your issue.

Thx fort he info sorin and gerald. I will look into into.
In the meantime i tried standard rsync over ssh. The backup works fine with a „small“ problem: BackupFilesExclude doenst work at all. I dont know if thats the mentioned rsync bug or not but basic operation is working now. I use centos 5.4 with backuppc 3.2.0. client is a win2003 server running cygwin.
So either i take care of the BackupFilesExclude problem or the rsyncd problem. Which method you think is the better one for this scenario if both would work ?

Subject: [BackupPC-users] rsync with windows/cygwin
Hello. I am testing BackupPC since a few days for backing up Windows PCs.
Most information i got tell me to use rsyncd when it comes to windows machines due to a bug.
As i run into problems with rsyncd+ssh i wonder if the rsync problem still persists or if it can be used now.
About the rsyncd problem: rsyncd trys to connect directly and is not using the ssh tunnel. I found documents about this problem but if rsync would work i would save the time solving the problem.
Thx for your help

Here is how I did it. If you don't want to use Microsoft's VSS, that part can be skipped.
