In a nutshell, the installer will select the appropriate vshadow and rsync for the version of Windows, and install a set of scripts on the Windows host.

Michael,
Which binaries that you've packaged are you referring to and if needed where can I find them?
Thanks
Pete

With each security update and version bump of Samba, winexe is becoming more and more finicky, so I thought it time to see if Window's own ssh could be used for the same purpose.  While it's not as straightforward as I'd hoped, it does work and doesn't require anything other than the binaries I'd already packaged for the purpose.

This is the script executed with $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd}:

|#!/bin/bash
#
# Takes one parameter, the name of the system
#
BOX=$1
/usr/bin/ssh Administrator@$BOX <#NOP> 'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Invoke-WmiMethod -Class Win32_Process -EnableAllPrivileges -Name Create -ArgumentList \"cmd /c c:\backuppc\pre-exec.cmd\"' # The above command is running in the background, we need to wait for rsync
# to start
let i=0
while [ $i -le 72 ]; do
  PIDEXISTS=$(ssh Administrator@carrot <#NOP> 'dir C:\BackupPC\rsyncd.pid' |& grep -v "^ Volume" | grep -v "^ Directory" | grep -o rsyncd.pid)
  if [ "$PIDEXISTS" == "rsyncd.pid" ]; then
    i=-1
    break
  fi
  echo -n "."
  sleep 5
done

if [ $i -eq -1 ]; then
  echo ""
  echo "Rsync and shadow copy loaded"
  exit 0
else
  echo "Error loading rsync"
  exit 1
fi|

This assumes that one has installed the ssh server that comes with Windows, and set up key authentication.  Note that it's necessary to use an account with Administrative privileges in order to have the requisite permissions.

$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} is more straightforward:

|#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/ssh Administrator@$BOX 'cmd /c echo '1' > c:\backuppc\wake.up' <&-
