Review of the archives for this list will show you SMB backups with
BackupPC are highly unreliable. Numerous of reports like yours have
passed on the list without response. It seems apparent the developers
don't intend to fully support SMB backups.

The cygwin-rsyncd package includes example rsyncd.conf file for the

What is syntax for a second Windows drive? Apparently "/cygdrive/e/"
