I took a brief look at the BackupPC pages.  It looks like BackupPC mainly a
Perl script and that the parts of cygwin that it installs is what it needs
to run on Windows.  So another way to use it might be to figure out what in
Cygwin BackupPC installs/needs to run, install those Cygwin packages, and
then move the unique BackupPC components to your Cygwin installation.  That
way you could have both BackupPC ("an incredible piece of backup software")
and Cygwin (another incredible piece of software).  :-)
