[Dirvish] Does Windows rsync work with Dirvish?

[Petcher, Daniel]

According to the rsync man page, a double-colon ( :: ) in the data path
means it expects to see an rsync daemon installation on that side of the
link. A single colon ( : ) means rsync will use the remote-shell transport.
On my system, the remote-shell transport defaults to ssh, not rsh.

I'd like to gain some speed by dropping the encryption overhead of ssh. (My
"network" is a cross-over cable inside a locked server room, so there's no
risk of anyone snooping in my dirvish session.)

Well I'll really out myself here.........

I run dirvish between various machines in my local LAN, and I use no
encryption at all. Two of the machines backed up by dirvish every day are
Win XP machines and it works perfectly. The trick is the following:

Here is a default.conf from Dirvish:

client: 192.168.123.180 

tree: :Dat 

xdev: 0 

index: gzip 

image-default: %Y%m%d-%H%M 

exclude: 

  Cache/** 

  blah..blah..

The colon ":" before Dat tells it not to use SSH.
I have no idea whether cwrsync can support rsh or not.
