You can use rsync to back up Windows. You just need to use Cygwin. http://www.gaztronics.net/rsync.php |

You asked what we were using to manage backups. Windows Home Serve handles automated daily backups. I also use Acronis, but for something else. I think your daily shoveling of horse manure is your personal peter principle in action. |

But you are right on track, thanks as always, it was you that sent me to that testdisk program, I am listening..;) |

Set it up once, run it as a cron job, and forget about it. |
