Using cygwin run rsych with the '-d' flag to make it a daemon. It will work like a regular rsync server. There may even be a native windows rsync server available. -NIck On Tue, 2 Nov 2004 08:19:04 -0500, Bruce Marshall <bmarsh@bmarsh.com> wrote:

I have a client who is using Windows XP and wants to backup his files (preferably automatically) to my Linux server.
Normally in Linux I would suggest rsync, or tar/gzip/ftp or similar solutions
But what would work under Windows? Does Windows have a shell and shell tools? I suspect not. And this is not a computer guru anyway.
Anyone have any experience and/or solutions in this area?
Would it be possible (that is, feasible) to use rsync from the linux side to backup the windows disks...? Probably the best way...
