Sorry I can't directly help (since I don't have a Win8 machine). But if
someone can figure out the right set of cygwin files and the right recipe -
ideally one that works across Win8, Win7 etc - then I would be happy to
update the recently released cygwin-rsyncd package (which was helpfully
The primary reason I have not gone the route of other programs such as
deltacopy, is that these windows boxes I am backing up via backuppc are end
users, as opposed to servers, and they have a bad habit of removing things they
see in the tray; nor can I count on them to install something on
Thanks Craig. I'll let you know what works if I come up with a solution to the
problem. I run a very mixed shop, so whatever I end up with, I'll easily be
able to test on 8, 7, Vista, XP, etc, including the server variants.
Thanks,

Dear Mark,
It seems you didn't try DeltaCopy: there is nothing in the tray: I run it as a
service just as you describe.
By default it extracts itself to C:\DeltaCopy and then, when running
DeltaS.exe, you can have it installing itself as a service.
You can just as easily do as you describe
For what it's worth, Michael's solution (with a few minor tweaks to the
vshadow.exe and a few others) works well on Windows 8x64. It is relatively
seamless, so no installed services, and runs on-demand via winexe calls
from a pre-dump script.

So I figured out the problem! Apparently, by adding in the new
version/additional .dlls, C:/path is no longer recognized in rsyncd.conf.
It needs to be /cygwin/c/path. So, bearing that in mind, the list of files
below, which were pulled from cygwin as of yesterday, are confirmed to work on

The BackupPC cygwin-rsyncd / 3.0.9.0 that I helped to contribute is only
missing the cygintl-8.dll file. I don't have Windows 8 to test with, but
without the file we've had no issues on Windows 7.
cygwin-rsynd (3.0.9.0) also has the same behavior with regard to requiring

I'm not sure what exactly changed, but I never had to mount C: on the older
version I was using. At any rate, I used the generic rsyncd.conf file found in
the BackupPC docs, which were using c:/path, which is why I used it. So
perhaps that needs updating as well when the updated rsync
Ray,
I can confirm that Windows 8 is NOT happy without cygintl-8.dll. When trying
to start the service without this dll, it spits out the following error in
C:\var\log\rsyncd.log:
/rsyncd/rsync.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?:
cannot open shared object file: No
Thanks for the followup.
I'll work with Craig to get an updated rsync package released that has the
missing DLL for Windows 8. May I send you a test case or two in the mean
time to verify we're working in the right direction?

Sure, that'd be fine.

Hi all,
I have a BackupPC server running at our office successfully but now want
to look at an off-site mirror (DR). When I create my off-site serverI

catastrophic failure of our main backup server, but don't want BackupPC
