[BackupPC-users] Windows client with rsync failing

[David K. <da...@ko...>]

Stats:

backuppc host: Debian testing
backuppc version: 2.1.1-2 (Debian)
client: Windows 2003 with current version of cygwin/ssh/rsync
backup method: rsync (over ssh)

Originally, I thought it was failing on file names with spaces but using
BackupPC_dump manually, now I can see it just stops communicating. It does in fact
handle spaces. ssh'ing to the Windows/cygwin box and issuing "ps aux" shows four
rsync processes still running. Eventually, (probably hours later, as I left it
over night) the server will exit with error "Got fatal error during xfer (Child
exited prematurely)". It transfers several files successfully before this point.

Any clues?

Also, what other backuppc options are there for backing Windows up over a public
network securely?
