I was used to use robocopy to backup my XP machine to the Qnap NAS and I was really missing rsync’s speed …

Now I finally have a working solution based on rsync with a really nice GUI provided by DeltaCopy and, most important for me, special character support (accents and so on) !!!

Steps are :

1. Allow remote Rsync server to back up data to NAS on the Qnap’s Remote Replication menu
2. Install DeltaCopy on your Windows Machine and configure your backup task (plus you can receive a log by mail, schedule the task, add rsync parameters, …)
3. Replace the cygwin.dll located in the DeltaCopy folder with the one found on Okisoft’s website (with UTF-8 support)
4. It’s done

Enjoy fast and easy backup
