Backup client for Windows: open source, rsync and VSS

I believe that Duplicati meets all of your specifications http://code.google.com/p/duplicati/ - it supports VSS, uses deltas and has a commandline client in addition to the GUI.

    I'm looking for a sync/backup client for Windows with:

    1. Open source license (BSD/GPL)
    2. rsync deltas to a remote rsync server
    3. VSS support

    Command line interface is preferred to a GUI.

    The less of everything else, the better.

    Any ideas?

      Is "VSS" Visual SourceSafe or Shadow Copy?

    Duplicati is great for this as long as you don't need to run the backup as a service. This is promised for version 2.

    Problem with BackupPC is that using SMB to get the files does not allow snapshotting (VSS) of the filesystem and therefore does not allow backup of open files.

    Duplicati doesn't use rsync. It uses rdiff. groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/duplicati/abqyUO3w9qU
