I have BackupPC working just fine on my Xp Workstations and Windows Server 2003 boxes using rsyncd. cygwin-rsyncd-2.6.8_0: Rsyncd for Cygwin When I try to setup rsyncd on my Windows Server 2008 box it looks like rsyncd although it installed as a service and looks like it started it doesn't seem to be working. When I tried to restart the service I get an error that states the service took too long to respond and in the Services applet it shows that it is in a stopping state. My question is has anyone got rsyncd working on Windows Server 2008 32 bit version. Do I have to use a newer version? or do something special to get it running. TIA John J.

Thanks I verified it is running but there must be some other reason that the connection is being refused. I turned off the firewall just to see if that was causing it but I still get Inet connection refused. Has to be something else on the system that is blocking the port. John J.

DeltaCopy is a gui interface to an rsync daemon. The installation of the software is extremely simple and it works on all windows versions up to and including windows 2008. I use DeltaCopy as the rsyncd software on all windows boxes that I backup with backuppc. -nick On 3/31/2010 2:20 AM, Sorin Srbu wrote: >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Nicholas Hadaway [mailto:nic...@fa...] >> Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 9:46 PM >> To: bac...@li... >> Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Anyone get rsyncd to work on Windows Server >> 2008 >> >> DeltaCopy FTW! >> >> http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp >> > I'm sorry, I don't see how this would integrate with BackupPC.

Ok, so it’s just the rsyncd-part on the Win-server that’s interesting, correct? And you set up BPC to use rsyncd with this particular Win-client and point it to eg /cygdrive/d/home which is one of those pre-setup virtual directories they mention in the DeltaCopy-manual.

I've got it working (rsync, not DeltaCopy) on several 2008 servers both 32 and 64bit. I used to run the rsyncd method, but with the new Cygwin, I'm just using the rsync method just like I do with Linux boxes. Works even better than using rsyncd.

We had been using the rsynd over ssh tunnel model, but with the new versions we actually had trouble with that model. We gave the straight rsync method a try, and it works great now. Trey Nolen |

After you created the deltacopy service, you create a virtual directory: e.g. cDRIVE and fill in the path and the credentials. this cDRIVE is what you use in backuppc as Rsyncshare name. The easy part is that you can copy the windows folder to another client, register the service and you're good. I did a few tests with Cygwin and it seems there are a lot more steps to get it running (but you can get encryption via ssh then) Koen Linders |

I'm thinking Deltacopy might help me, as I can't get the regular rsync to work. Rsyncd might be better for my environment. I'll look into this in more detail after the Easter vacations.

I verified that rsyncd is running on the server but I am getting Inet Connection refused which probably means there is a firewall issue. I can ping the server from the BackupPC server but that only means the server is live and ICMP packets are getting to the server. I have to go through two firewalls to get to this server and I don't control them so it must be that something is dropping packets or refusing packets. Thanks for the info. John J.

Hi John, > I verified that rsyncd is running on the server but I am getting > Inet Connection refused which probably means there is a firewall > issue. You don't need to guess - rsyncd uses TCP port 873 by default. You can observe that something is listening on that port on the server side with netstat, and you can test from any client to the server using telnet: # not running, or blocked by firewall $ telnet localhost 873 Trying 1.2.3.4... telnet: connect to address 1.2.3.4: Connection refused # running and accessible from your test client [a1182492@vilgax ~]$ telnet rsyncserver 873 Trying 5.6.7.8... Connected to rsyncserver. Escape character is '^]'. @RSYNCD: 30.0 Hope that helps. Regards, Chris Bennett cgb |
