I had a similar problem when backing up Windows-Clients to my BackupPC-Server. Transfer speed was very (no I mean verrrry) slow. I've tried rsync over SSH (very slow with cygwin), I tried Samba (had problems with user-rights and you can not use exclude and includes at the same time) and now I'm using rsyncd and everything seems fine: Looking at my logs I can see, that one of my Windows 2000 Clients that is connected via 54Mbit Wifi has been backed up in 59 minutes for 2356 MB. My backup-server is a Pentium-III running Ubuntu Server - so no supercomputing-power :-) If you need 280min for 600MB there must be something wrong. What Operating System is the client-pc running? Are you using rsync or rsyncd? Rsyncd performs much better compared to rsync over SSH with cygwin. I'm recently writing a howto 'Backup Windows Clients with (cygwin) rsyncd and BackupPC', and I would be glad to hear feedback.
