In case anybody is interested, here's my follow-up to this issue : Eschewing the 2.6.9 that ships by default on Cygwin, I compiled Matt's patched rsync 3.0.0 by hand and moved forward with that binary. After trying a few more scenarios - and hanging each time at the same phase noted above - i tried the --whole-file switch (copy files whole), which solved the problem nicely. Now, of course, i'm not sure /why/ that worked (which is to say that i'm not sure why the algorithm was failing), but there you go. :) -- Daniel Maher signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

So presumably you give rsync-backup the option to run only rsync without a password. Double security. ssh key for logging in as rsync-backup and sudo restriction in place. Correct? Of course one that gets hold of the key, could run rsync as root, overwrite rsync and then rerun that rsync to do what he pleases. I wonder though if you really have to specity the ssh. ssh should be by default and the key is the default key.
