I have dirvish setup and tested using both ssh (copssh) and rsync (cwRsync). 
Both utilities are available from www.itefix.no. The setup is backing up a 
windows folder to a NAS (linux platform). Tests copying files with and without 
ssh (rsync daemon) were successful. 

To overcome the issues associated with rsync while copying open/locked files, I 
tried out Eric Smith's tb-rsync-vss-32 wrapper. Unfortunately, dirvish returned 
broken pipes errors using ssh. I used a default.conf file very similar to the 
example provided in the Bitbucket article.

I shall be grateful to hear about the experience of other users with this 
tb-rsync-vss utility..
1. Is it necessary that I must use cygwin, sshd and rsync instead of copssh and 
cwRsync?
2. If the tb-rsync-vss utility and its convoluted parameters is a logical 
replacement for rsync, should it not be useable in all cases where rsync is 
used including when run as a daemon in a secure network possibly with the 
addition of an extra colon at the beginning of the tree string in the 
default.conf file?

Thank you in advance

Gibson
