Re: [BackupPC-users] Setup for Windows backup with rsync

There are several windows rsyncd install/config tutorials. Recommend looking at this one: https://kifarunix.com/backup-windows-system-with-backuppc-using-rsyncd/ rsyncd is at cygwin-rsyncd and can download Cygwin-Rsyncd installer from Releases page
