Have you tried smb/cifs? You know, the built in windows networking
sharing protocol? It may be a bit slower in certain conditions than
other protocols, but I've never had it corrupt any transfer ever. Then
again, I've never had any problems with FTP on a local network
(filezilla included). What kind of network runs 10 megabytes/second?
Do you mean 100 megabit? Common ethernet is 10/100/1000 megabits per
second. In any case, all three have been superbly reliable for me over
the years, even with ancient 10 base hubs where the collision light
would go solid the whole transfer.

If not rsync is the way to go (or perhaps sftp, but that'll be SLOW
with the encryption overhead usually), maybe search for a windows gui
for rsync? Or use a cygwin environment so you can have a bash shell.
I'm sure you could schedule rsync backups with the windows task
scheduler.
