Re: [BackupPC-users] Setup for Windows backup with rsync

[backuppc]

It is safer and more versatile to setup ssh on your Windows machine
and then just use 'rsync'
Rsyncd uses minimal security and an incompatible config format from
rsync-ssh.

Also, it is possible to do a better job on windows if you use the VSS
shadow copy system in combination with rsyncd.   I'm not an expert on
that myself but you can probably find what has previously been posted
to this list if you search.

There are several windows rsyncd install/config tutorials. Recommend
looking at this one:
https://kifarunix.com/backup-windows-system-with-backuppc-using-rsyncd/

rsyncd is at cygwin-rsyncd  and
can download Cygwin-Rsyncd installer from Releases page
 and and install it on
your windows system
