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.

I guess you need an SSH server on the Windows machine. I had a free one
installed but recently uninstalled it (as I use rdiff the more usual
way: Windows -> Linux) and can't find it now. But here is another free
one that looks ok: http://mobassh-en.mobatek.net/. I think port 22 would
need to be open for TCP traffic, and you should make sure that the
remote command (--remote-schema) contains the path to rdiff-backup.exe
on the server (or that rdiff-backup.exe's location is in the Windows
PATH variable). HTH
