backuppc-users: I am a BackupPC newbie who has installed BackupPC on a dedicated Debian 4 machine and is successfully backing up Linux and FreeBSD machines via ssh/ rsync. Good stuff! :-)
However, when I attempt to backup Windows XP Professional SP3/ Cygwin machines via ssh/rsync, BackupPC will process anywhere from dozens to hundreds of files and then hang, usually on a large file (console session follows). RTFM and STFW, I found various items, but no resolution. I tried invoking rsync from the server console to pull in files from a Windows/ Cygwin machine, but the process also hanged. I think the problem lies with Cygwin, but don't know how to troubleshoot it. Has anybody been able to get BackupPC working with Windows/ Cygwin clients via ssh/ rsync?
