Me too...Although we have been using rsync instead of rsyncd since the new Cygwin came out, it is always nice to see some other ways of doing things. We are using diskshadow (on 2008) to backup things like Exchange 2007.

Hi,

As of today, I have all my Windows Servers being backed up via rsync (not 
rsyncd) and ssh.  I can now manage my Linux and Windows backups the same way.

My solution doesn't require dosdev.exe, it uses vshadows ability to map a 
shadow copy to any directory.

BackupPC ssh's into the windows box and runs my bash script 'pre-backuppc.sh', 
then ssh's in to do the rsync backup, and when done, ssh's in runs 
post-backuppc.sh.

I borrowed some stuff from other peoples scripts (specifically the 'at' command 
stuff to get permissions to run vshadow.exe), and the rest is really simple.

If anyone is interested, I can post the scripts here, and how I setup cygwin 1.7
