Personally, I use a batch file to install the client. You have to
configure the rsyncd.conf and rsyncd.secrets
Using this download:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/2.6.8_0/
and these instructions:
http://gerwick.ucsd.edu/backuppc_manual/backuppc_winxp.html
@echo off
c:
md c:\rsyncd
net use x: \\server\utils
xcopy x:\rsyncd\*.* c:\rsyncd\*.* /Y
c:
cd \rsyncd
cygrunsrv.exe -I rsyncd -e CYGWIN=nontsec -p c:/rsyncd/rsync.exe -a
"--config=c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach"
cygrunsrv.exe --start rsyncd
rem Les Stott notes you can setup the WinXP firewall to allow
rem port 873 TCP connections to rsync with the following script
rem lines. Remove the rem lines to run these three commands.
rem
rem netsh firewall set allowedprogram program = c:\rsyncd\rsync.exe name
= rsync mode = enable scope = CUSTOM addresses = LocalSubnet
rem netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 873 name =
rsyncd mode= enable scope = CUSTOM addresses = LocalSubnet
rem netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 enable
Ultimately, I am trying to automate the update process to end-users as
much as possible (which is why I used smb to start with). I'm looking
for something I can remotely install and have backup all directories,
including those currently locked and also including live Microsoft SQL
databases without the bandwidth cost of SMB and while backing up open
files (I essentially want a backup good enough that I can use to
restore the entire "system state," which includes active system
files). I know from my previous experience, I was able to
successfully backup a MySQL database on Linux and restore it when the
entire database was "accidentally" deleted. I just am not too
confident with Windows and how to do this properly while the DB is
still running.
