Based on some of the work here
http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=62 and
elsewhere, I finally put together a package that allows more-or-less
instant installation of a scripted client for Windows machines for
BackupPC that handles:
- Open files (VSS)
- Wake on LAN
For the past 3 years or so, this has gone through a number of tweaks,
but
now I'm comfortable that it's a one-click, seamless installation, once
the
server side is set up. It includes all the necessary binaries
I'm making it available here:

Questions/comments welcome, of course.
Firstly, I'd like to say "THANK YOU!", you have done truly an amazing
amount of work to get this far, and thank you very much, it will make my
life much easier I'm sure.
Secondly, a couple of things I needed to adjust in the scripts:
1) Rather than adding the windows administrator username and password
into the preuser and postuser scripts, I created a single auth.sh file,
and sourced that from each of the other two scripts. Obviously paying
particular attention to the permissions on this one file.
2) Since I have a space in my Administrator password I needed to add
some quotes to the command lines for winexe

Finally, one thing that took me by surprise, I was asked by the windows
install utility for the rsync username and password, but the username
wasn't added to the rsyncd.conf file (so I added it manually) and the
username and password was not added to the rsyncd.secrets file (in fact,
the secrets file did not exist at all).
Not terribly important, but perhaps this could be added to the Client
Installer instructions, or else added to the program to be done during
installation.
PS, this was on a windows XP Pro machine (if it makes a difference)....
Thank you again for a great utility and solution.
Regards,
Adam

Hmmm, I'm not sure why it wouldn't have created the rsyncd.secrets file,
but I'll see what's wrong with it. I'll also add some more explanation to
the installer, since it's possible to just skip and create the secrets
file manually.
I'll also bundle your suggested changes for an update, thank you!
