For windoze target hosts, I have found the Cygwin implementation of the
OpenSSH server to be relatively well-documented and straightforward to
setup.
Yes it is a bit "heavy", but note you don't have to do a full
registry-based install on every client. Just get it a minimal setup running
in "portable mode" and keep the whole X:\Cygwin tree in sync with rsync or
whatever you already use.
However from a security POV, the SOP is to let Cygwin's normal OpenSSH
setup routine create the special full-rights-to-backup user, password
issues, so for small environments you probably should just go ahead and run
setup on each client anyway, you can still sync later updates.
It's actually nice to know you've got sshd available on your clients for
other purposes, especially to ensure good security for FOSS tools that
don't know from domain-based tools.
And of course the other platforms have the ssh server enabled out of the
box. . .
