There is a link to a recipe for doing this at

under Supporting Windows clients.
could you tell us more ?
I've put that on my W2003 server, and my Fedora Linux rsnapshot server.
It seems you don't need authentication at all... That does not sound
good to me.
I added this comment to the windows rsnapshot link from the howto :-
It is also a good idea to add "hosts allow = ..." in rsyncd.conf
on the windows machine to restrict the IP addresses which can
connect to the rsync server. And possibly also to add "auth
users = ..." (and probably "secrets file = ...") if you would
like user/password authentication. By default rsync server allows
anonymous access from anywhere.
Or for advanced users, you could set rsyncd.conf to have "hosts
allow = 127.0.0.1" and access the rsync server through an ssh
tunnel (eg from linux run "ssh -L 873:localhost:873 cf7dev" and
then have rsnapshot do a backup of localhost::websites to cf7dev/.)
That would also mean the network traffic would be encrypted.
That example assumes you don't use tcp port 873 (rsyncd) on the
machine with rsnapshot.
I use an "empty passphrase" key for my Linux boxes, and I can't figure
out how to do this with Windows...
There's an openssh server shipped with cwRsyncServer, but I can't see
how to use it...
The cwRsync FAQ has some info on setting up secure connections between
Linux and Windows. You could use the ssh port forward
(note I'm not comfortable with that zindoz stuff... :-/ )
Thanks a lot for more information on that...
Jacques.
