Rob, Thanks! That was exactly the problem - I ran regedit, searched the registry for 'cygwin' and kept "finding next", deleting each key tied to Cygwin. Then I ran rsyncd.exe inside C:\rsyncd, went to Services and started the rsyncd service and BackupPC was able to do a successful backup. No

Ok, I'm pretty sure I know what your problem is. I had the same issue on my Windows systems. It's because of cygwin registry entries. 1) Make sure rsyncd is stopped 2) Make sure cygwin is uninstalled (typically by removing c:\cygwin) 3) Run regedit and search for 'cygwin'. Delete any registr

Are you positive that the rsyncd service is running on the host? (Windows host, right? It should show up in the list of Windows services). Try this command: rsync -vvv router:: Hopefully that'll give some additional info. -Rob Cory Rivera wrote: > Rob, > > I need to make a slight correction

Rob, Thanks for clarifying - I figured that laptop and laptop.university.edu would not be discoverable but at this point I'm ready to try anything. Now, in response to your question / suggestions: The router is a D-Link DI-604, and I followed the instructions on www.portforward.com to forward

Cory, You're going to want your host to be called either "router" or "router.university.edu". If you're on the local network, probably either will work. "laptop" and "laptop.university.edu" will not work, because they're not known on the public side of the router. The error messages you're gett

Rob, Thank you for your quick response. Unfortunately I am having a bit of trouble setting this up. I have configured the router to forward port 873 (TCP/UDP) to my XP Pro laptop. I'm fairly certain I have my rsyncd/cygwin set up correctly. My rysncd looks like this: [backup] path = c:

This solution assumes that you have access to the router setup page. (After writing this, I realized that you should confirm w/ the developers whether BackupPC's rsync module supports the --port option). Use rsync over ssh, or rsyncd as the transport. Lets assume rsyncd for this example. Rsyncd
