I run dirvish between various machines in my local LAN, and I use no encryption at all. Two of the machines backed up by dirvish every day are Win XP machines and it works perfectly. The trick is the following: Here is a default.conf from Dirvish: client: 192.168.123.180 tree: :Dat xdev: 0 index: gzip image-default: %Y%m%d-%H%M exclude: Cache/** blah..blah.. The colon ":" before Dat tells it not to use SSH. I have no idea whether cwrsync can support rsh or not.
