With the advent of the Windows 7 release, we were recently made aware that the recommended Rsync server we listed on our downloads page does not support Windows 7.
\nAfter working with one of our customers, Mike Hoyle<\/a> , he let us know that he has discovered an update to the cwRsync solution which functions in the Windows 7 environment.
\nI have included his correspondence below:<\/p>\n

\n
I may have found a solution to my problem as follows: –<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
I removed the original installation including services which was installed from the download on your website.<\/p>\n

(cwRsyncServer_3.0.1_Installer.exe)<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I went to the following site http:\/\/www.itefix.no\/i2\/download<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Downloaded the latest cwRsync – cwRsyncServer_4.0.3_Installer.zip<\/span><\/div>\n
and downloaded the latest Copssh – Copssh_3.0.3_Installer.zip<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Installed cwRsync and then Copssh<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Activated a new Copssh user – running the command ‘ssh localhost’ in the Unix shell now works.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
I have managed 4 successful backups now to the Win 7 RSync Host. from backup assist v5.4.2<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We would like to take the time to thank Mike for providing us with this information, and allowing us to share it so that this issue can be addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
