Yes I have made that submission, and they are willing to give linux a try but want dual boot <grin>. > But _all_ systems with important data need backups. Yes thats now obvious. However what I have done is to install asecond 120G Hd and now would like to setup an auto backup system. Now I am not really familiar with windoze, so are ther any recommendations, and how do I automate, say weekly across 4 partitions. I need something like a cron job until I can ease them over to linux. What we do have in Australia is electronic tax, that has to be sent quarterly, its like a VAT system. It is for windows only and installs ONLY on C drive, typical Govt program, so I cannot get rid of windows unfortunately as yet. > Ciao, > > David A.
