I'm trying to use the CentOS server for windows backups.  I want to use 
rsync to get the data over there.  I downloaded cwrsync, but I'm having 
issues getting it to work.  I keep getting: "Disconnecting: Timeout, 
server not responding."  Has anyone seen anything like this?  Here is a 
transcript:

C:\Documents and Settings\Russ>rsync -vvvvvvv /cygdrive/c/temp/xr 
backup-db at 192.
168.1.5:/home/backup-db/test
cmd= machine=192.168.1.5 user=backup-db path=/home/backup-db/test
cmd[0]=ssh cmd[1]=-l cmd[2]=backup-db cmd[3]=192.168.1.5 cmd[4]=rsync 
cmd[5]=--s
erver cmd[6]=-vvvvvvv cmd[7]=. cmd[8]=/home/backup-db/test
opening connection using ssh -l backup-db 192.168.1.5 rsync --server 
-vvvvvvv .
/home/backup-db/test
backup-db at 192.168.1.5's password:
Disconnecting: Timeout, server not responding.
_exit_cleanup(code=20, file=rsync.c, line=242): entered
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at rsync.c(242) [sender]
_exit_cleanup(code=20, file=rsync.c, line=242): about to call exit(255)

And on the server, in secure.log I get:
May  2 18:08:58 localhost sshd[4337]: Accepted password for backup-db 
from 192.168.1.36 port 3392 ssh2
May  2 18:08:58 localhost sshd[4337]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session 
opened for user backup-db by (uid=0)
May  2 18:08:58 localhost sshd[4339]: fatal: Write failed: Connection 
reset by peer
May  2 18:08:58 localhost sshd[4337]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session 
closed for user backup-db

I'm using "rsync  version 2.6.7  protocol version 29" on the client.  I 
used the lates (2.6.9 I believe), and downgraded from there, trying to 
get it to work.
