You can use rsync to back up Windows. You just need to use Cygwin.

Yes, I certainly want to do this:

use chroot = false
strict modes = false

[modulename]

path = /cygdrive/c/cygwin/var/rsync_dump
comment = Rsync storage area
read only = false



Instead of "Backup HK PC"

I don't think we are talking about the same thing. rsync will mirror
multiple clients to a server. Set it up once, run it as a cron job, and
forget about it.

Gee, that's pretty much like any other backup software.

Windows Home Server, btw, is a very interesting product.

rsync doesn't require you bend over at the alter of Bill and give him a
couple of hundred dollars.

That is just like an INI file that a command reads to control its
processing.

What's the big deal.

Yep, just like an .ini file, only it works.
