We tried this a few years back on a server with user dir's. It had 10's
of thousands of folders. Rsync for windows would just die a horrible
death. We ended up using robocopy, which works well
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy). Maybe the kinks in rsync for
windows have been worked out by now.

Incidentally we use rsync/ssh on linux boxes with millions of files and it
works great, although can take a long time to generate the file list haha.
I've been wanting to implement rsnapshot but haven't had time.
