This is where you should go: http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/
Packaged rsyncd for Windows and instructions included!
Have fun!
Minimal setup: (backuppc server side config):
$Conf{XferMethod} = "rsyncd"; $Conf{RsyncdUserName} = "userfromotherside"; $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'betterpasswordthanthisone'; $Conf{RsyncShareName} = "cDrive";
Other side (Cygwin setup):
in c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.secrets userfromotherside:betterpasswordthanthisone in c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.conf check and set: (match bits from above - rsyncd.conf has most of this already...) This assumes you wan't to back up the full c drive from the cygwin mount point. [cDrive] path = /cygdrive/c/ comment = Entire C Drive strict modes = false {RsyncdUserName} auth users = userfromotherside secrents file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets hosts allow = ip list comma sep of Backuppc server(s) read only = false list = false
Now, finish with some tweaks to the Windows firewall:
File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In) And pick the rsyncd program as well.
Finally, reload the config in Backuppc (Admin Options -> Reload)
