CWRsync is one.  We use it for backing up our lightning detector and weather 
stations (both of which run on Windows for various reasons; in the lightning 
detector case, drivers for the Boltek board are, as far as I know, 
Windows-only), where we only want changes to be backed up (in trees with many 
hundreds if not thousands of small to medium-sized files), and from a server 
cron.... just exactly what rsync was designed to do.  It works quite well.  A 
full transfer using smbclient takes hours and loads down the controller PC's; 
rsync takes a few tens of seconds nightly and presents little load.
