I've found that page, and a couple of others that all gave conflicting advice :-)
Thankfully, that page seems to be right, and it's working now :-)
So I've got command line backups from a windows machine.
The next step will be to automate them so it doesn't ask for a password (I'm currently failing to get key authentication working, but I think it may have something to do with my chrooted jails)
Once that's done I'll knock up a quick VB gui to allow my parents to pick the directories that they want backed up.

Yes there are however some problems getting it to work for any file larger than 2GB (seems to be more of a limitation with cygwin than anything else)
There are binaries here http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/rsync_pc1.html but they are pretty ancient, so it may be worth searching down newer versions.
Personally as even the author of this site now suggests I would consider using Unison instead.
