Hi :) If rsync is available on Windows then it might not be so easy to charge people so much for apps that do back-ups. Unless no-one knew about it of course.
I tried a back-up utility that looked great until i used it to restore a bootable Windows and found the Windows boot-loader was completely lost because things were not in exactly the right place. Someone suggested using dd but to grep it through some archiving tool. I did fix the Windows restored drive but by installing Grub2. Grub2 survived the back-up and restore process but it felt like i was cheating because the whole purpose was to restore the machine to exactly the way it arrived from the store. I'm going to ask about grepping a dd through an archiving tool on http://www.linuxquestions.org to see if they can give me a good idea of how to actually write the command.
