using rsync as the transfer method, the actual implementation was pretty much trivial once i configured it.

Maybe if you're doing backups of windows PCs there's something harder about it (i'm sure ;).

The main problem there is that a long-standing bug in Cygwin keeps rsync-started-by-sshd from working. It starts up but after a short time both ends hang waiting for each other. You can do a standalone rsync running in daemon mode but it takes more client setup.

Does anyone here do Cygwin development or know the right person to beg for a bugfix?
