Well, that's basically what Cygwin is.  It runs the rsync ssh daemon and
then translates where the files are for the incoming rsync pull request.
Cygwin runs on Windows, rsync runs on Linux.

Say you want to back up your E:/Quickbooks directory, you edit the
rsyncd.conf file within Cygwin like so:

[yourlabel]
path = /cygdrive/e/Quickbooks

Then call it with rsync on the Linux machine with:
/usr/bin/rsync -avz 192.168.10.255::yourlabel /path/for/storage
