Make sure that the Windows XP firewall, if turned on, is allowing connections through on port 873 (rsync) rsync.exe is on the list of exceptions. Connection is not a problem because I receive message in rsync's log on the Windows machine (firewall does not block it). You may also have to add an exception for tcp port 873. Do you have all the latest windows patches? I think that both rsync's (from Debian and from windows package) use different protocols (maybe one side encrypts connection with ssh and one side is not?). What can I do to check that? Post the contents of your client side rsyncd.conf and the relevant rsync conf sections from config.pl on BackupPC. Then we can check that the config is fine. Regrads, Les
