Incremental File Backups on Windows 10

Under Windows 7 I successfully used rsync running under cygwin. After upgrading(?!) to Windows 10, rsync will freeze and I can only close the cygwin session. I have some time this weekend to find a solution. I did a Google and found this problem mentioned some time ago, but I never found a fix. Can anyone help, or suggest another solution? Thank you -- Stephen

That was my go to before, in terms of tools that work on GNU/Linux and Windows...

Duplicati has a Windows client too. Increamental, encrypted backups, works with SSH or a bunch of different storage backends. I know nothing about Windows 10 though.

I believe that rdiff-backup will also work on windows. But it is currently limited to python2.x and there are some questions about ongoing maintenance. On 01/07/2016 11:03 AM, Blaise Alleyne wrote:
