There have been some solutions posted that used ssh port-forwarding to connect to rsyncd which was configured or firewalled to only accept localhost connections. But I thought the current cygwin sshd/rsync basically worked like it would on Linux (earlier versions would hang randomly). > So far.

You can probably fix the openvpn setup. Are you using something like: keepalive 30 120 ping-timer-rem persist-tun persist-key or on the client side of a client/server: ping 15 ping-restart 45 The likely problem is a stateful firewall that times out the connection if there is no activity. > Bonus would be a solution that can backup open files... Those have been posted too, using windows VSS shadow copies. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
