In my experience with W7 and BackupPC, the c: drive does not need to be shared. Rather than help troubleshoot your error. I'll outline what I do which is 100% successful on the network I administer. 0. I assume you've properly configured BackupPC. 1. Install cygwin-rsync-2.6.8_0 as 'c:\rsyncd'

Forgot to mention two other steps. If you use the global 'backuppc/conf/config.pl' file: 1. Set the backup user name. $Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc'; 2. Set the backup user password. $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'L2t608G'; Otherwise set the same variables in the per PC (backuppc/pc/your_pc_n
