Hi all, I am setting up a backup system wich rsyncs with different desktops to copy the data across to another desktop with a very big hd, pretty simple. But I do not know how to go about laptops. People carry them around and they might be connected at anytime, as they might not, and the idea is that tthe backup be completely automatic, my boss does not want to press any button or do anything. How can I detect when a laptop (which has windows 2000 and a fixed IP, by the way) has got online in order to do the backup then? Any other ideas? Thanks all, Sergio
