would you mind to share that package, in whatever state it is? I use a similar setup (Cygwin + rsync over SSH), but getting it to run is less than intuitive. I yet have to find a simple and fool-proof way of installing (don't talk about keeping up-to-date even) that combination. It takes me less and less time every time I do it (every few months), but it's still a pain. IIRC, last time I had to refresh my mind on - how to enable a cyg_server (appx. a.k.a. root) account with the proper access rights - how to open port 22 on the firewall, and (if need be) respond to pings, - how to make the SSH server accept the BackupPC server pubkey (because cyg_server has no home by default). And that's even without vshadow. Certainly not an approach that I can load off to the average Joe user, say, "download and install ..., and I do the BackupPC server setup remotely".
