? rsync and/or psync ports to VMS, other directory/disk replication packages

I found a couple of references to efforts being made to port rsync and psync from about 2 years ago. Does anyone have any knowledge of whether anyone got either of these working on VMS?

I'm exploring alternatives for backup scenarios and based on experiences with rsync in a Linux environment it looks like an interesting idea to explore.

The basic idea is to create an area on a central server with enough disk storage to replicate the drives on several other servers. rsync or equivalent software would drive the replication process.

If you know of any other packages that might do this kind of replication please pass along links/references.

Thanks,
Robert
