I think the only fundamental problem is with ACLs, and that only with
the unstable version. (ie. The stable version doesn't handle ACLs at
all.)
No, the most fundamental problem is that rdiff-backup on cygwin can't
restore natively to a windows filesystem. We wrote a web interface to get
around it and it works quite well. Their may be some other way of making
rdiff-backup restore on windows, but I haven't had the time to fix that
yet.
Check for posts from David Kempe. He has even wrapped an installer
around rdiff-backup.

cmon! and I thought no one cared... :)
btw, given the poster's original requirements - they are pretty damn steep.

I'm looking for a backup program. It must be:
+ open source
+ run on Windows 2k/XP/2003 server
+ turn key (or as close to it as is reasonable)
+ easy to manage (within reason)
+ be able to backup files from the server as well as individual
workstations (win2k + XP)
+ have an active developer community

rdiff-backup on windows is great for windows -> linux backups atm.
You might be able to make it work for you, but I don't think its what your
after. In fact I doubt there is an opensource product like it.
Freshmeat.net will probably know better
