** Discussion **
[CMcC]: Rsync can be used to backup a frequently changing database, for example by:
rsync rsync://wiki.tcl.tk/wiki/wikit.tkd .
One would have to repeat the rsync until no changes were sent, though. Is there some return value from rsync that tells you how much work it had to do?
[RLH] Are there any other Tcl/Tk guis for rsync?

How to do it with windows: Download all the files with the instructions and the full batch file: http://supremexen.com/download-wikit-rsync/
Synopsis:
Ran the installer
cwRsync_2.0.10_Installer.zip
Then found the example batch file, modified it by adding one line at the end:
rsync rsync://wiki.tcl.tk/wiki/wikit.tkd .
And then just ran the batch file
wikit-rsync.cmd
I renamed it with a .txt extension as well so it's not run by mistake.
