Yeah there is; I couldn't get the rsyncd-package for cygwin to work out. I get an "inet connect: Connection refused"-error when I try running the backup. Unfortunately I know too little about the authentication mechanism in Cygwin. I'll look into it during the day. Anyway, that's why I tried out other ways to connect to the Windows machine. You know, the rule of least resistance... ;-) Thanks for all the hints so far. I'll be back with an update later. -- /Sorin
