I've never heard of HardBackup, so I can't help there. Taking a quick
look at it, it doesn't seem to address the problem of backing up open
files on Windows.

Here's my story on using dirvish on Windows:

I wrote a Windows executable (tb-rsync-vss) to deal with the Windows
Volume Snapshot Service (VSS). See the above blog post for the history
behind it. It's in use daily on a number of machines, including Windows
instances in Amazon's EC2 cloud.

For details on how it works and how to configure it, see the bitbucket page:
https://bitbucket.org/ericvsmith/tb-rsync-vss

It's all open source (Apache License 2.0).

my <anything else>!

Good luck.

Eric.
