Now I am even more confused. :) Yeah, I used rsync-backup to back up a windows box for a while (until I got rid of the windows box). The only tricky bit I ran into was that the XP SP2 box had a bug in the Windows equivalent of cron that prevented me from automating the backup. It wasn't an important enough box for me to invest in an alternate cron solution so I just manually clicked the little backup icon I made for my rsync-backup script every once in a while....a windows server should have no such issues :) -- R.
