Can anyone suggest a solution which works reliably for them including both SSH + rsync or SSH + rsyncd on windows with BPC ? So far. I've tried various combinations of the above with very un-reliable results. One method I'm using now is openvpn + rsyncd, but again that is also not reliable (because openvpn falls over so BPC can't ping, so no backup (and no error)). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Bonus would be a solution that can backup open files...
