What is wrong? Sorry for my english.

Hi ub1k,

I have never tried rsync to a Windows machine so I don't know how that works. Are you trying to do rsync over SSH to your Windows machine? If that is the case you probably have to buy the Rsync over SSH plugin to get this option available. IF you are trying to do normal Rsync it should work and you probably have configured the backup incorrectly.

I know that there's a document linked in the forum somewhere that describes how to setup Rsync. This guide makes the destination server "pull" the backup from the source server. I have on the other hand configured my backup so that the source machine sends the backup to the destination machine. Make sure you have added the correct ssh-rsa key in the authorized_host file. I had mixed it up so the destination could SSH to the source but not the other way around which obviously made my backups fail.
