I'm need to run a rsync server on a Quad 2.8Ghz , 1Gb RAM, 1Terabyte of disk.. Dell 725N - it's a storage, NAS type box running W2K, RAID 5 etc.. A real beast.. :-)
The Unix guys want to backup their boxes to this beast using rsync clients. It would seem that Windows Services for Unix (WSU) is the key.. Current version gives me a fully compliant POSIX environment, not reliant on cygwin.dll (I've noted Mike's page with rsync binaries for cygwin http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/nt.html ) - although this would probably work .. compared to native WSU performance.. the performance would probably lack compared to a native build running directly on WSU.. I've googled, searched the rsync mailing list and looked thru the WSU 3.5 docs - no mention of running rsync under WSU or Interix. 300+ applications are bundled - but no rsync - bugger. So, before I launch into rsync source code, gcc, compiler flags , path issues and god knows what else.. has anyone else tried this ?
