[rdiff-backup-users] Backing up from Linux to Windows?

[Austin Roberts]

My dad and I are trying to set up an across the internet backup solution using rdiff-backup. I run Linux, he runs Windows. I set up Cygwin so I could run the rdiff-backup server over SSH, but ran into an error where path names were too long (I understand this to be a limitation of Cygwin). Backing up from Windows to Linux seems to work fine, using the distributed rdiff-backup executable.

Does anyone have a reliable way to back up from Linux to Windows that doesn't require a network share?

Thanks for any help.
