Stowe has been around forever. I suggest you read his entire blog -
very entertaining.
Here's his BackupPC stuff:
http://www.michaelstowe.com/backuppc/
I decided to use vssadmin and wmic to manage restore points. I then use
Cygwin and a bash script to mount the shadow copy for backup.
It's kludged together but works for me.
Cheers!

would you mind to share that package, in whatever state it is? I use a
similar setup (Cygwin + rsync over SSH), but getting it to run is less
than intuitive.
I yet have to find a simple and fool-proof way of installing (don't talk
about keeping up-to-date even) that combination. It takes me less and
less time every time I do it (every few months), but it's still a pain.
IIRC, last time I had to refresh my mind on
- how to enable a cyg_server (appx. a.k.a. root) account with the proper
access rights
- how to open port 22 on the firewall, and (if need be) respond to
pings,
- how to make the SSH server accept the BackupPC server pubkey (because
cyg_server has no home by default).
And that's even without vshadow.
Certainly not an approach that I can load off to the average Joe user,
say, "download and install ..., and I do the BackupPC server setup
remotely".
Cheers,
Alexander
