So it is cygwin based, i cant imagine it being any different to current cygwin based rsync implementations.
however the additional options of bandwidth limitation and Welcome message may be useful in limiting the impact on client pc's when a backup occurs. Again testing would need to be done, I too would be interested to see some test results, but testing this is job number 502 on the list ;) its also based on rsync 2.6.9 just checking standard rsync options..... --bwlimit=KBPS limit I/O bandwidth; KBytes per second ....i bet this is all that its doing for bandwidth limiting...implementing the rsync option for --bwlimit. I haven't used that yet. has anyone used rsyncd from a windows server and used --bwlimit?
