How do I use this? Do I just download the msi file and run it and then
everything just works, or do I still have to download Cygwin etc.?
How can I test if it is working? i.e. backuping up outlook files that
are in use etc.

Hi,
this is something I did a couple of days ago for our company's use, I
thought it would maybe help someone else too.
Basically this enables rsync to send files which are locked, e.g.
in-use Outlook .pst-files, the Windows registry and pretty much
everything else except EFS-encrypted files.
Everything can be found here: http://iki.fi/~eliasp/rsync-vss
The most useful thing is probably the rsync.msi-file which will
install rsync under C:\Program Files\rsync. A zip-file is also
provided which includes everything in the installer plus the installer
as a WiX-source file.
NOTE that this only works on Windows XP currently, I tried it on
Server 2003, but for some reason it didn't work.
There is a patch file which can be applied to the rsync 2.6.6 source
found in cygwin. It's pretty simple stuff actually. Note that it needs
a C++-compiler as I didn't have time to fiddle with the C-style COM.
There were some other issues too, like the linker not finding
CreateVssBackupComponents directly and fstat not working for files
opened with CreateFile. You have to install Microsoft's VSS SDK and
copy the include files and libraries to rsync-2.6.6/vss/inc and
rsync-2.6.6/vss/lib respectively.
