I took a look at the batch files (after installing the "setup.exe" you 
talk about, under VMWare).

What the batch file does is run a version of Python (python.exe) that 
doesn't exist in Cygwin (which is what I use) and has a very complicated 
line to do the execution.

python2.4.exe -S %RDIFF-PATH%\rdiff-backup --remote-schema 'plink -C -i 
sloth.PPK %%s rdiff-backup --server' %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

I'm just looking for a very simple way to have cygwin launch rdiff-backup.

Has anyone done this?

If yes, please reply to me.

Thanks,
