Hi, Peter. If you haven't found a Windows binary of rsync 3 yet, try http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650 I had to upgrade my rsync from 2.6.9 to 3 due to high memory usage by 2.6.9 when walking the directory tree and building a file list in memory... if you have a lot of files, this will take a lot of memory on 2.6.9. version 3 has incremental recursion, where it only keeps two directories in memory at one go, the current one and the next one. this helps a lot. for us it made the difference between being able or unable to run the backup! good luck!
