Well, I'm finally convinced that tape backup machines are evil.
I'm considering going without a tape backup and do IDE hard drives or
perhaps even writable DVDs. (Do they make rewritable DVDs yet?)
I have to backup windows workstations. There are about five of them.
I'm going to backup "My Documents" and Outlook email.
I don't want to create shares on each workstation as they'd be visible
by all. I know that I could reduce permissions to make the shares
readable by a single user/machine.
I'd also like to only backup changed files, and encryption would be
nice.
Either client pushing to server or server pulling from client is fine.
Right now, I think it would be easier to run something on the client
that pushes data to a server.
My question is:
Does anyone know of a program that does this: backup changed windows
files to a remote linux machine that I can execute at defined times?
I'm willing to run samba on the linux server.
I realize this may be off-topic as I am trying to do things on windows
machines. Just wondering any of you have tried to solve a similar
problem.
Thanks.
