It is simple to set up a rsyncd server under Cygwin / WinX to feed BackupPC. I normally install "full" cygwin to access rsyncd, but there is a limited client available.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/3.0.9.0/
From the readme:
"Download and run cygwin-rsyncd-3.0.9.0_installer.exe to install rsyncd on your WinXX client for doing BackupPC backups."
At one time, the prepacked rsyncd client did not work on Win7 and later, but I think that was fixed. Otherwise, install "full" cygwin and follow the instructions for the prepacked rsyncd client.
