Backup VPS to Windows XP at home - Request for Tutorial
Hey All! I was wondering if anyone knew how to set up a windows XP machine to serve as a backup server for my VPS. I looked on the internet and couldn't find a decent HOWTO on the matter. I understand that I can install cygwin and run rsync or rdiff-backup.
Can someone point a lost wanderer to the fountain of knowledge?
Thanks for your help!

Might not apply to you, but this is how I did it with Cpanel.
1. setup an ftp server at home (use any old ftp server program, or the built in linux / windows versions)
2. get a dns service like no-ip.com if you have a dynamic ip
3. set cpanel to backup to a remote ftp serverKeep your customers in the know with www.KnownOutage.com - free alerting software that you host. Did I mention that it's free?
