Greetings,
I have successfully been using rsync to backup my Linux desktop and laptop
for several years.
My current goal is to automatically backup a Windows 7 desktop to a linux
server using rsync. I've found guidance here:

I have installed Cygwin along with the rsync option.
For the Windows 7 machine I've written a short batch file who's critical
line reads as follows:
c:\cygwin\bin\rsync -vrtz -e "c:\cygwin\bin\ssh -i
/home/someuser/.ssh/id_rsa" /cygdrive/b
someuser@leeloo:/var/backup/arrakis
The above does not look right. The path to the key would need to be on
the machine calling rsync, in other words the Windows box. That being
said /home/someuser/.ssh/id_rsa wouldnt be the correct path.
