If you want to pull the directory C:\Windows_Backup on your Windows machine to /backup on a Linux machine, you can do the following:
On the Windows machine :
– Install Cwrsync Server
– Start the RsyncServer service
– Add a new module to the configuration file rsyncd.conf :
[backup]
path = /cygdrive/c/Windows_Backup
read only = true
transfer logging = yes
On the Linux machine:
Use the command below to initiate rsync:
rsync -av windows_machine::backup /backup
This will rsync all of the files in C:\Windows_Backup on the Windows machine to /backup on the Linux machine.
