I do this between Unix machines (OS X and not) without any problem by setting
up rsync shares
rsyncd.conf:
[root]
path = /
comment = Root
readonly = yes
auth users = root
uid = 0
secrets file = /usr/local/etc/rsyncd.secrets
[home]
path = /home/kreme
comment = My home
readonly = no
auth users = kreme
secrets file = /usr/local.etc.rsyncd.secrets
and then something like:
rsync -a --password-file=/var/rsync.pass --exclude=/var/rsync.excludes
rysnc://myserver.tld/root/ /backups
(I actually use rsnapshot to fire the rsync off)
However, I've never used cygwin or used rsync to a windows machine. When I need
to sync files to windows (or from) I mount the windows machine via SMB and use
rysnc 'locally' to sync the mount point. I don't give a rat's ass about users
or ownership on the windows machines though.
You might need to ask on a windows group?
