CWRsync is one. We use it for backing up our lightning detector and weather stations (both of which run on Windows for various reasons; in the lightning detector case, drivers for the Boltek board are, as far as I know, Windows-only), where we only want changes to be backed up (in trees with many hundreds if not thousands of small to medium-sized files), and from a server cron.... just exactly what rsync was designed to do. It works quite well. A full transfer using smbclient takes hours and loads down the controller PC's; rsync takes a few tens of seconds nightly and presents little load.
