Whats the Fastest way to backup my server to a Home computer

I was playing with the idea of backing up my server to my windows machine as a second type of backup besides the local second hard drive I have in the server.

I know rsync would be the fastest but I can't find it for Windows machines without it built into a separate piece of software.
FTP is a good Option but very slow.
Another option is a dual boot or just format and putting Linux on the machine.

Anyone play with or was able to succeed with rsync on Windows.

Thanks
Mitch

Found a great way after thinking about it. Took out the main 1TB hard Drive put in a 2 TB hard drive as a second hard drive move the second 1 TB hard drive as the boot drive Partitioned and installed Linux. I now back up to the home server using rsync. works perfectly! :>
