Hi everyone,

I'm sort of have the same problem, well with rsync on windows, the rsync just hangs/freezes, and ofc the backup then does not finish.. Its very inconsistent, it works 99.9% of the time, just sometimes, it decides to freeze up, and stop responding.

Witam,

You should use the rsync package provided on the backupPC site. It is
optimised for BackupPC.

I tried this package first, the same message.

Make sure that the Windows XP firewall, if turned on, is allowing connections through on port 873 (rsync)

rsync.exe  is  on  the list of exceptions. Connection is not a problem
because  I  receive  message  in  rsync's  log  on the Windows machine
(firewall does not block it).

I   think that both rsync's (from Debian and from windows package) use
different  protocols  (maybe one side encrypts connection with ssh and
one side is not?). What can I do to check that?

Witam,

I  use BackupPC installed from a Debian stable repository. Everything
works fine, now I want to backup Windows computers in local network.

I decided to install cygwin-rsyncd package on one of them. Configured
everything according to README.TXT.

Then  I  try  to run rsync -av [EMAIL PROTECTED]::TESTDIR . on the backuppc
server  (of  course  I  change  USER,  SERVER,  TESTDIR  to  suit  my
configuration). Then I receive this message:

rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(570)

and this message on the Windows client in the rsync's log:

2005/09/08 23:27:05 [3632] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to
write 12 bytes: phase "unknown" [receiver]: Invalid argument (22)
2005/09/08 23:27:05 [3632] rsync error: error in rsync protocol
data stream (code 12) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/io.c(1099)

I  checked  versions  of  rsync:  on  the server 2.6.4, on the client
2.6.2.  So  I  installed  cygwin  and  fresh rsync (2.6.4) with fresh
cygwin1.dll. No change, the same problem.

What can I do to make it work?
