Hello,

Does anyone know a good way to completely back up a FreeBSD server (running 
things like Apache, a mail server, sshd, etc) to my home WinXP box?

The server is co-located away from home, and instead of paying for offsite 
storage for backup purposes, can't I just use my broadband connection to make 
differential backups to my home WinXP computer?

It seems that I could either:

a) schedule a program on my WinXP box that ssh's to the server to retrieve the 
files; or
b) use cron to cause the server to ssh to my WinXP box to push the files to me.

Option 'b' seems more secure to me for some reason ... is there a FreeBSD 
port/package that can handle that, if I were to run a ssh server on my home 
computer? I do have a static IP address, but if that were to ever change, I 
suppose option 'a' might be easier.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Chris
