I've had good luck using Driveimage XML to backup up to a Samba server: - it doesn't require a reboot to run - it creates an image of the drive and you can use it to restore to a different drive. - since it either locks the backup volume or uses MS's shadow technology you can put the backup files on the same disk you are backing up and copy/ftp/scp them to your server after the backup is complete. - you can browse the files in the backup image and restore individual files. - it will compress the backup files and each one is about 650MB so they are easy to sore on DVDs or CDs. - you can run it from the windows job scheduler to automate your backups. It is free and available at http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm
Thanks a million Tim :-) This really Sounds Great! I am going to implement this next week or so to backup windows partitions to my Current OpenBSD Server Running backuppc. will let you knoe the result later :-) I just wonder Why Nick Holland said nothing about backing up MS Windows hosts to OpenBSD. As I Know he has worked in MS Windows Environment and Where ever he works he tries to use OpenBSD Whenever he can :-) So Just wondering how he addressed this issue with an OpenBSD based solution! Thanks a lot onec again Tim Kind Regards Siju
