Personally, I use a batch file to install the client. You have to
configure the rsyncd.conf and rsyncd.secrets
Using this download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/2.6.8_0/
and these instructions: http://gerwick.ucsd.edu/backuppc_manual/backuppc_winxp.html
@echo off
c:
md c:\rsyncd
net use x: \\server\utils
xcopy x:\rsyncd\*.* c:\rsyncd\*.* /Y
c:
cd \rsyncd
cygrunsrv.exe -I rsyncd -e CYGWIN=nontsec -p c:/rsyncd/rsync.exe -a
"--config=c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach"
cygrunsrv.exe --start rsyncd
rem Les Stott notes you can setup the WinXP firewall to allow
rem port 873 TCP connections to rsync with the following script
rem lines. Remove the rem lines to run these three commands.
rem
rem netsh firewall set allowedprogram program = c:\rsyncd\rsync.exe
name = rsync mode = enable scope = CUSTOM addresses = LocalSubnet
rem netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 873 name =
rsyncd mode= enable scope = CUSTOM addresses = LocalSubnet
rem netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 enable
Ultimately, I am trying to automate
the update process to end-users as much as possible (which is
why I used smb to start with). I'm looking for something I
can remotely install and have backup all directories,
including those currently locked and also including live
Microsoft SQL databases without the bandwidth cost of SMB and
while backing up open files (I essentially want a backup good
enough that I can use to restore the entire "system state,"
which includes active system files). I know from my previous
experience, I was able to successfully backup a MySQL database
on Linux and restore it when the entire database was
"accidentally" deleted. I just am not too confident with
Windows and how to do this properly while the DB is still
running.
