You might have to be more specific here, to get specific help, but on Windows 7, you have a few issues to contend with: 1) Installing rsync 2) Dealing with open files (vshadow w/ external launch) 3) Opening the firewall #2 is the trickiest part, because of the way vshadow works -- rsync must be launched after the shadow copy is created, or it can't see the shadow copy. There are two reasonable solutions floating around, one's ssh-based, and one's winexe-based. Both are found on the wiki (one embedded, one linked.) I prefer the winexe method because it avoids installation altogether, although if your Windows boxes have sshd installed anyway, that may not be an issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
