What are you using to manage your backups? We are setting up a Linux
box right now for a friend, will probably use rsync with a cron to
back up our linux stuff, and one of our frineds windows based hosting
servers...
You can use rsync to back up Windows. You just need to use Cygwin.

Yes, I certainly want to do this:

use chroot = false
strict modes = false

[modulename]

path = /cygdrive/c/cygwin/var/rsync_dump comment = Rsync storage
area
read only = false



Instead of "Backup HK PC"

I don't think we are talking about the same thing. rsync will mirror
multiple clients to a server. Set it up once, run it as a cron job,
and forget about it.


Gee, that's pretty much like any other backup software.

Windows Home Server, btw, is a very interesting product.

rsync doesn't require you bend over at the alter of Bill and give him a
couple of hundred dollars.


I thought you were the unbridled capitalist.
