You had me going for a second there. I thought rsync had been ported without cygwin. <sigh/>.

And tar:

The Win32 port can only create tar archives, but cannot pipe its output
to other programs such as gzip or compress, and will not create
tar.gz archives.

<sigh again=true/>

Well, I use unix tools like tar and rsync all the time, and they have
all been ported to windows (without cygwin even).  See
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net about your favorite unix tool.
