Good idea to have "totally" independent backups, but do note

I tend to make use of the "newhost=oldhost" syntax when creating new Backup
clients. Do you

Hi Adam,

Hi,
I've just setup a new Win10 machine, and thought I'd try this solution
to do the backup...
So far, I have installed the MS SSH server, using the powershell command
line installation method, copied the backuppc ssh public key across,
used a powershell script to fix permissions on the
Okay, I was just making things way harder than they needed to be. Sorry Jeff.
Doug, from my understanding DeltaCopy is nearly just an alternative version of
cygwin-rsyncd. I think all you need to do is dump these scripts into the
bottom of the .pl file for the host. Otherwise, all of the
Yes. SSH needs to be minimally configured just as you do when using
the 'rsync' method (over ssh) for any other system.
And SSH is pretty basic for any type of communication, login, file
transfer between machines in the 20th century (with the exception
maybe of pure Windows environments)
I was hoping that I could reply with at least a basic outline. However, I’m
still trying to figure out what I’m missing.
Jeff, you seem to imply that there’s no client side config that needs to be
done? When I installed SSH via the base CygWin, it seems like there is at
least basic setup

Okay,
For someone that has always used DeltaCopy on the clients, is there a
step-by-step instruction page that explains on how to use this?
Thanks!

'date' and 'tail' are both very basic functions that are part of
'coreutils' that should be part of even the simplest cygwin
implementation. You don't need dateutils.
'cygpath' is part of the basic 'cygwin' package.
Just try the base cygwin install plus rsync and I would think everything should
Well, now I’ve gone and done it! This machine had the BackupPC CygWin that
Michael so generously bestowed upon us and I didn’t check before I installed
the general CygWin. This ought to be fun to untangle.
So, that does clear up a few things, so thanks. One bit of weirdness is that
“tail”
I may have been a little too literal in definition of 'base' - I meant
that you don't anything beyond what you need for generally running
BackupPC over cygwin (which of course includes rsync/ssh).

Jeff,
These look like awesome scripts. Thanks so much for sharing! (Hrm, is
BackupPC headed towards a plugin extension set?) However, I’ve had little
exposure to CygWin. In the olden days, we’d grab the CygWin for BackupPC and
roll. However, your notes seem to indicate just installing a

Hi there,
thanks for the hack. It runs very well here, I always had the problem
that backing up Windows computers in our network was quite a problem.

Just posting an updated version of my perl hacks to the
/etc/backuppc/pc/windowshost.pl file that will allow you to easily and
reliably create (and later remove) VSS shadow copies on any Windows host
so that all files (including locked ones) can be backed up.
This approach in my mind is
