Don't that I do not agree with the "get the 20-something . . to do it"
idea but, I have never found setting up BackuppPC that challenging. Yes,
it does have small problems right now because Craig is pretty busy but,
it has served me well for many, many years.
There are many articles that help. Now, if your trying to backup Windows
10 well good luck. Any then, on top of that challenge, it be a "Windows
Guy" that thinks it (setup) should be handed to him . . . like Redmond
just says "here ya go" . . . lol.
And finally, it's okay if "linux" is not for you.
