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! (and sorry for asking such a blatantly non-SB
question :)
