So - this isn't SB related, but wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how to efficiently backup my music drive?
My music is on a Windows (2k) file server, but I recently bought a cheap NAS with a Linux OS. I'd like to use rsync to check for changes on the Windows file system, and then make any changes as required on the NAS. (Until now I've been using MS Synctoy, but Synctoy doesn't delete folders that have moved or been renamed - and you end up with loads of empty folders in the backup destination). Anyway - rsync looks good, but I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Linux. I guess that the Linux OS can't read the Windows filesystem at the moment, and I'm expecting to have to mount the music drive within Linux. I've done some googling, but now yet found anything all that helpful. Can anyone give me a couple of pointers (e.g. a link to a tutorial, or even just general info)? Cheers in advance!
