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.- Hide quoted text -
