My backup is based on this article,
http://justinsomnia.org/2007/02/how-to-regularly-backup-windows-xp-to-ubuntu-using-rsync/
Rsync on Windows XP did not work as outlined in that article, so I installed Deltacopy and setup rsync on ubuntu.
First step install rsync on Ubuntu, I am using Ubuntu 10.10.
1) Install rsync, sudo apt-get install rsync
2) Edit the rsync fonfiguration,
sudo nano /etc/rsyncd.conf
3a) Add the following. Note, when you run deltacopy client on Windows what’s on brackets will be your Virtual Directory Window.
Replace username by your Ubuntu username.
[weeklybackup]
path = /home/username/backup
comment = Backup
uid = username
gid = username
read only = false
auth users = username
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
3b) Very important: create the “backup” directory otherwise deltacopy will give you error messages, something about error 5.
mkdir backup
4) sudo chmod 644 /etc/rsyncd.conf
5) Create the secrets file
sudo nano /etc/rsyncd.secrets
and enter your ubuntu username and password in the form of username:password. Save the file (ctl-x) and exit, don’t add anything else except your username:password
5a) Back in the terminal window type,
sudo chmod 600 /etc/rsyncd.secrets
6) Change RSYNC_ENABLE=false to true by editing the /etc/default/rsync
sudo nano /etc/default/rsync
7) Now Reboot or restart rsync, to restart rsync type
sudo /etc/init.d/rsync restart
Now setup Deltacopy on your Windows computer. I am using Windows XP
8 ) Install DeltaCopy
Download and Install DeltaCopy.

After the installation DeltaCopy server console will come up. Skip it. Go back to the Start menu and open DeltaCopy client.
Create a new profile as shown in the DeltaCopy site. My profile setup is as follows.
As shown I used an IP address instead of the hostname and I am using weeklybackup as my virtual directory. weeklybackup is what I specified in step 3 above.
Click Add Profile to go back to the main menu.
Now add the folders that you want to backup.
You can also schedule a backup. Note: if you schedule a backup you need to have a password on your Windows computer.
At first my backup was not working, if that’s the case enter your ubuntu username/password in the authentication tab.
Mine looks like the following.
That’s it you should now have a working automated backup.
