Ok, I downloaded and installed DeltaCopy... I am, however, clueless about how to configure it together with BackupPC, so BackupPC would start picking up the files from the windows machine.
I did set up a virtual directory in DeltaCopy and it's running as a server on my windows machine. What next? Is there anything else that needs to be done on the windows machine? What's the configuration supposed to be like in BackupPC for this machine? I tried to specify "rsync" for the XferMethod... After looking at the logs, I saw that it's trying to ssh to windows machine, which can't be right since windows doesn't have an ssh server... Anyway, any ideas as to how to do all this? Thanks, Yaakov.
