Windows to Linux works fine with the native binary, Linux to Windows is
where I'm having problems. Is there any way to start the native windows
client as a server and back up to it? I've tried using SSH, and I can run
the native Windows client (as opposed to the Cygwin version), but it
complains when I try to specify the drive letter.

Tomorrow I'm going to try the BackupFromWindowsToLinux instructions, using a
remote source and local destination. Hopefully I'll be able to script it so
I can run a script from the Linux source and have the Windows destination
initiate the rdiff-backup sequence with the native rdiff-backup binary.

If I get it working smoothly, I'll make a BackupFromLinuxToWindows page on
the wiki.
