Hi all,<\/p>\n

There’s been quite some interest in our Rsync Engine in BackupAssist – which is a great way of sending data offsite in a bandwidth efficient way: http:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/BackupAssist\/tour_Rsync.html<\/p>\n

It allows you to backup to any Rsync Server – being Linux box, Windows or NAS.<\/p>\n

The Windows setup procedure for installing an Rsync Server on a Windows machine is currently a bit tedious, as we rely on a 3rd party package called cwRsyncServer.<\/p>\n

However, we are in the process of developing our own module that will enable you to setup a Windows machine as an Rsync Server without having to mess around with config settings, etc.<\/p>\n

Aim: Allow administrators to easily set up a Windows machine as an Rsync Server, to host data for multiple clients (each with their separate allocated space), and implement a security model that restricts client access to their own backup directory.<\/p>\n

So it’s currently in development, with an ETA of late in this quarter (ie. March).<\/p>\n
