Enabling read/write access for NFS shares from a Windows client requires 3rd party software such as DiskAccess. Just adds another layer of instability to an already shaky foundation. Avoid NFS in this instance. > > Any recommended backup strategies? I've heard good things about Mindi and Mondo, but have never had a chance to verify them. My office uses Arkeia, which does have a free home version (1 linux server and 2 clients, IIRC) My experience with it is similar to that of sendmail, can be a pain to get setup correctly, but once it is, it works like a charm.
