Anyone tried enabling the in-built Win10 SSH server and then using straight rsync, not rsyncd, with cygwin-rsync client?
Additionally, and maybe I should create a separate thread, but does the cygwin-rsync client that's bundled on the GitHub page use the shadow volume? I can't see anywhere that it discusses this, nor find any forum posts. However, this forum post says there are at least two solutions for doing shadow copies with rsync:

It has been a while since I tried it, but last time I did, I had trouble
with permissions (i.e., there were many files that it simply did not
allow reading) and with shadow volumes -- there's a bit of a Catch-22
where the shadow volume is unusable unless it's created before the ssh
service is started, which kind of defeats the point of using it to
control the shadow volume.
To explain a bit more, there are two kinds of shadow copies: persistent
and transient. One could create a persistent shadow copy and back it
up; it will have its own path (that is set at the time it's created.)
Transient shadow copies belong to their context, and disappear when
rebooting or when whatever process owns them terminates. I prefer the
latter, though the differences are really timing (in the sense that if
one created a persistent shadow copy last Thursday and backs it up, the
backup would only be current as of last Thursday) and management.
