This other article is rather interesting: http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/UnattendedRdiff > As for the sentence > "As Microsoft Windows does not have a native SSH server built-in, this > is currently not possible without the purchase of a commercial Windows > SSH server package" > in the Wiki - there are free SSH servers for Windows, for example > FreeSSHD [1]. So I think my proposed approach should work. We have a setup that is very similar to what Gregy wants, and we are using the approach of the article mentioned before: we have a central server that pulls data from office servers through ssh at night. For Windows office servers we are using the stand-alone rdiff-backup binary together with CopSSH (www.itefix.no/copssh/), and it seems to work pretty well. On a side note: as mentioned in another thread, we are using rsync (still over ssh) for the initial copy, when the data size is huge.
