So I guess this a much more complicated than a simple question of how to
configure default.conf for Windows client backup.
I'm using this excellent configuration guide to setup my windows box :
http://www.dirvish.com/Windows_Dirvish_Guide.html
It only addresses the rsync part of the configuration. The dirvish pre-client
stuff uses rsh.
Adding print statements to the dirvish perl script in the scriptrun sub shows
the first problem - the script tries to call rsh on my winhost using a colon
appended the host name.
e.g. > rsh winhost: ' script stuff deleted '
>>/home/backup/winhost/docs/20170129/log
Note the colon added after the remote host name "winhost"
So this is not going to work "out of the box". And it almost certainly needs
some config stuff on the windows side. I can command line log into the remote
via rsh :
e.g. > rsh tony:@winhost
but that requires a password and leaves me in a kind of chroot jail. But at
least I know rsh to the windows client is possible.
What I really need is tips & pointers from anyone who has dirvish configured to
run pre-client scripts on windows clients ?
TIA
Tony

Subject: Running pre-client script on a windows machine
After a lot of googling, I can't find anything that describes the syntax needed
to run a batch file on a Windows client box using a default.conf file's
pre-client: option.
Help?
