Yupp, it does seem to work. The pc-folder is being filled up slowly at 40-60Mbps. Pretty good I'd say. What I did: * Installed MobaSSH ssh-server on the Win-machine. Ssh-login from BPC to Win-machine works using passwordless login with certificates. * Installed the DeltaCopy (DC) rsyncd-service. * Have a shared folder on the Win-machine. * On BPC I added the Win-machine as any other backup-client, but chose "rsyncd" for $XferMethod. * Set $RsyncShareName in BPC as "Users". * Set a virtual directory in DeltaCopy called "Users" pointing to the local folder E:\users on the Win-machine. Do not add a Comment for this virtual directory in DC! It will confuse BPC. Do not check Authentication. * Back in BPC again, unchecked the $RsyncdUserName and $RsyncdPasswd. * I unchecked the $RsyncdAuthRequired checkbox. I couldn't make it work with it requiring authentication. * Saved and started a full backup. Now, a potential gotcha' is the second but last item on the above bullet-list. This is an intranet, firewalled from here to eternity, so no outside connections should be able to connect at all. It feels a bit shakey to not have some sort of authentication on this, and where it should go. DeltaCopy or BPC or both or... Well, you get my drift I hope. I also am not quite sure which of MobaSSH or DeltaCopy is making this work, or if it's a combination; in the former case I'll need to purchase a license. MobaSSH is payware, while DeltaCopy is not. Comments and hints are welcome. Thanks *all* for taking the time to help me getting this far. Wouldn't have done it w/o your help guys! -- /Sorin
