Xuo,
I ran into this problem recently as well, change your paths from C:/rsyncd/* to /cygdrive/c/rsyncd. Older versions accepted the windows paths, but newer versions prefer/insist on the unix-styled path.

Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] cygwin-rsyncd-3.0.9.0 released
Hi,
I have installed rsync with the cygwin-rsyncd-3.0.9.0_installer.exe file and modified the rsyncd.secrets and rsyncd.conf files.
The TCP port 873 is open.
When I try to connect to the PC under windows 7, I get :
# rsync -rlt --delete [email protected]::Pauline Trimestriel
Password:
@ERROR: chdir failed
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1516) [Receiver=3.0.9]
Any idea to solve this problem ? I still do not have run the service as the user to be "rsynced" (Pauline) as I don't know its password (I am waiting for it to see if this solves the problem).
The rsyncd.conf file is the following.
#
use chroot = false
max connections = 2
log file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.log
#pid file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.pid
lock file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.lock
[Pauline]
path = c:/Users/pauline
comment = Compte de Pauline
strict modes = false
auth users = xuo backuppc
secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
hosts allow = 192.168.0.14
read _only_ = false
list = false
Everything was working fine with some previous version of rsync but I wanted to use this one as I think it is a newer one.
Regards.
Xuo.

Thanks to Ray Frush, I have released a new version of cygwin-rsyncd, the cygwin-based rsync for WinXX-based client machines. As users have noted, the prior version is many years old.
The released files can be found on SF.net at:
Download and run cygwin-rsyncd-3.0.9.0_installer.exe to install rsyncd on your WinXX client for doing BackupPC backups. The NSIS installer (see nsis.sourceforge.net) is used to wrap everything into a single .exe. This is based on the cwRsync installer, adapted by Ray.
Download cygwin-rsyncd-3.0.9.0_source.zip if you want to customize and build your own cygwin-rsyncd installer executable (eg: presetting some configuration parameters specific to your site). You will need to download and run NSIS to build the installer executable.
This distribution includes rsync 3.0.9, a handful of cygwin 1.7.13 libraries and blat (a utility for sending a notification email upon install, using a batch script notify.bat, which is commented out by default). It was built using NSIS 3.0a0.
cygwin-rsyncd-3.0.9.0 will work with both BackupPC 3.x and 4.x. For the new BackupPC 4.x, rsync 3.0.x is strongly recommended on the client side (versus rsync 2.x), since some optimizations like matching full-file md5 digests only work with rsync 3.0.x. Also, rsync 3.0.x (and BackupPC4 rsync_bpc on the server side) both support rsync's incremental file list, which avoids the need to store the entire file list in memory (which was a drawback of rsync 2.x for big transfers).
