You can run the cygwin rsync client without a full install of cygwin. The
download below is a self contained cygwin rsync client. Simply unzip,
configure and run. If you are using it as a client, just run the rsync program
from the command line.

Instructions for configuring the daemon mode to run as windows service are also
included. This is what I usually use on my windows servers to back them up.

Quoting Chris Lobkowicz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Anyone know off the top of their head?

I am looking to sync a "large" amount of data between two machines. And lets
just say the 2Tb partition limit is what is catching me here. To even do an
index of a 2Tb file system with ntfs on it is obscenely slow.

So I am migrating to a better filesystem/os!

But, I need to get lots n lots of data off. Robocopy is ok, but limited to
the restraints of the machine/os/filesystem.
I would like to at least rsync the data, at a slow rate, over a number of
days. As not to impact the normal services of these boxes.

So, does anyone have any suggestions as to methodology? Or to rsync client
for windows?

Thanks
Chris
