No, because :
- it is tricky to install
- there are issues with the tray icon being displayed
- it is not really meant to interact with the user, it simply runs as a
service in the background.
- in case of misconfiguration, the service will fail, somewhat silently.
Yes, because :
- it is not really meant to interact with the user, it simply runs as a
service in the background. I've never seen the windows client do
anything that might cause a basic user to call for support.
(by "windows client" I'm only refering to the service responsible for
sending the files to be backed up; not to some kind of self-service file
restoration interface)

Backuppc is a program built around rsync, which perhaps would better
suit your needs.
Best,
