Sigh. I wasn't asking for an MS backup program. Exactly the opposite. I was saying that BackupPC is perfectly adequate for my purposes in backing up both Linux and Windows computers. It was you who claimed that the internet was full of MS gurus just waiting to help users, and I pointed out that in that case it was odd no-one (until possibly Les Mikesell) had suggested an MS equivalent. > In my > experience, no one one with decent computer knowledge would have > bothered wasting their time even looking at a Microsoft-authored > backup program, when the third-party alternatives are so widely > acknowledged to be superior. You haven't said anything to suggest to me that you have superior "computer knowledge". In my (very long, I started with a paper-tape machine) experience one almost always gets better advice on Windows problems from Unix/Linux gurus. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
