for Tim Evans,

Yes, ssh and rsyncserver are running on the Windows client. Thank you.

for Adrian Ruiz,

I'll have to check but, I thought that it was a TCP port (22) I setup as an inbound route. (Might have been UDP, too many years away from Windows clients, too use to Linux, I'll check.) Thank you.

SSH is port 22 TCP (by default, it could be configured to use any TCP port, though I don't think UDP would work without some kind of VPN/tunnelling process in between).

to anyone,

I am still interested in knowing if I can check a log file that will help me, either on the Windows client or the Backuppc server. Anyone?

I suspect your problem is that you have installed rsyncd, and not sshd. If that is the case, you can use backuppc to connect directly to rsyncd (and check the rsync log for issues).

If you really want to use rsync over ssh (for network level encryption, key based authentication, network level compression, etc) then I'd suggest you remove the rsyncd binaries you have, and use cygwin (from www.cygwin.com) to install sshd and rsync, and configure from there.

Regards,
Adam

Did you start the SSHD service on the PC? See
