Oh, and BTW... care to tell us snerk, what you are building a
"server" for? What will it be running. not windows right??

I've been running Windows Server 2008 *beta* for many months on a backup
machine, recently upgraded to the RC, and will be upgrading to the
final, perhaps at the end of February.

I also have Windows Home Server running on yet another machine. It's the
one my wife and I use for daily backup and to store our music and
videos. We each have a desktop and laptop we use here, and other
machines we use elsewhere.- Hide quoted text -

What are you using to manage your backups? We are setting up a Linux

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.

What did you think?

Did you read up on Windows Home Server?

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.

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"

It's a little more complicated when you are working between NOC's..
But I do have to go to the horsies... buh, bye.. We can talk windows
later, guarantee, our windows guy runs circles around you...

For some reason my reply to this seems not to be showing up but I did
note above that we will be backing up our windows systems too! But you
are right on track, thanks as always, it was you that sent me to that
testdisk program, I am listening..

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.
