You should use the rsync package provided on the backupPC site. It is optimised for BackupPC.

Make sure that the Windows XP firewall, if turned on, is allowing connections through on port 873 (rsync)

Witam,

I  use BackupPC installed from a Debian stable repository. Everything
works fine, now I want to backup Windows computers in local network.

I decided to install cygwin-rsyncd package on one of them. Configured
everything according to README.TXT.

Then  I  try  to run rsync -av [EMAIL PROTECTED]::TESTDIR . on the backuppc
server  (of  course  I  change  USER,  SERVER,  TESTDIR  to  suit  my
configuration). Then I receive this message:

rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(570)

and this message on the Windows client in the rsync's log:

2005/09/08 23:27:05 [3632] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 12 bytes: phase 
"unknown" [receiver]: Invalid argument (22)
2005/09/08 23:27:05 [3632] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream 
(code 12) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/io.c(1099)

I  checked  versions  of  rsync:  on  the server 2.6.4, on the client
2.6.2.  So  I  installed  cygwin  and  fresh rsync (2.6.4) with fresh
cygwin1.dll. No change, the same problem.

What can I do to make it work?
