Hello All,
I am working on building a small distro for backing up Window's clients over
WAN. My goal is to be able to hand a customer a small piece of hardware (
i.e. http://www.soekris.com/products.htm), have them plug it in their
network, open port 22 to the device be able to do some simple configuring
via web interface to select which hosts and SMB shares to backup. The
selected shares will be mounted on the device via smbmount which should
allow BackupPC to SSH in to the device and effectively backup internal Win32
hosts.
Before I commit anymore time into this I would like to see if anyone else is
backuping up hosts in a similiar fashion (SMB mounts). I do not know the
internals of Rsync on how it checks to see if a file has changed and I'm
concerned that an SMB mount point won't allow rsync to do it's magic
(incrimentals) and therefor won't allow BackupPC to do _it's_ magic
(pooling, hardlinks).
Someone please ease my nerves and tell me this will work.
cheers
