Hi Rob, I use it on a few windows boxes here. A simple howto I put together: note: i use cwrsync. there is also deltacopy which seems more user friendly but less flexible than cwrsync. ------------------ Backing up a windows XP (not tested on other versions) workstation is done as follows.
---- rsyncd.conf ---- use chroot = false strict modes = no hosts allow = ip.of.backuppc.server [backupwin]
Optionally if you have a linux partition and want to have that backed up too so not requiring the pc to be booted up in linux at time of backup do the following:
---- rsyncd.conf ---- use chroot = false strict modes = no hosts allow = ip.of.backuppc.server [backupwin] [backuplinux] path = /cygdrive/l/home/user ---- rsyncd.conf ----

Is there a version for windows or would i have to install a UNIX box and mount windows drives? as i want to purchase a disk array, but want to share it for regular windows file use and and for backing up files too... Thanks for your replies in advance:) Havea great day! -- Garith Dugmore Systems Administrator South African Astronomical Observatory Phone: 021 460 9343 Website: http://www.saao.ac.za |
