Thanx for your answer. In the meantime I've found the following solution:

- backup takes place using VSS snapshot - e.g. partitions C: and D: 
snapshot are mounted as A: and B:, which has corresponding rsyncd 
configuration - so this cannot be used for restore

- I've created another rsyncd.conf for partitions C: and D:,
   and now rsyncd is started/stopped using

$Conf{RestorePreUserCmd} = '/etc/backuppc/bin/prerestorecmd-domain.sh 
$host';
$Conf{RestorePostUserCmd} = '/etc/backuppc/bin/postrestorecmd-domain.sh 
$host'

- "read only = no" in rsyncd.conf is essential :)

Best regards,
Falko
