I have a client who is using Windows XP and wants to backup his files (preferably automatically) to my Linux server.
Normally in Linux I would suggest rsync, or tar/gzip/ftp or similar solutions
But what would work under Windows? Does Windows have a shell and shell tools? I suspect not. And this is not a computer guru anyway.
Anyone have any experience and/or solutions in this area?
Would it be possible (that is, feasible) to use rsync from the linux side to backup the windows disks...? Probably the best way...
That would require an rsync daemon on the Windows side tho. Besides, the server is always on, the Windows machine is not always on, and not always connected. -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E
