Re: [BackupPC-users] Recommended CYGWIN SSH & Rsync guide

[Kris L. <kl...@th...>]

You'll have to edit the scripts on the client machine to kick off VSS on
additional drives.  Then you'll edit the rsyncd mount points accordingly.

If I recall, the applicable files are backuppc.cmd, vsrsync.cmd, and
rsyncd.conf

There are also differing versions of vshadow depending on your client OS (
http://edgylogic.com/blog/vshadow-exe-versions/).  I just include them all
and edit the scripts to choose accordingly.

Also, bear in mind that Michael's solution isn't really meant for in-place
restores (you can alter it to do it, but this can potentially cause more
trouble than it's worth).  But 99% of the time we only have to restore a
single file so it's easy enough from the web interface.
