I have an opensolaris server running with a raidz zfs pool with almost 1TB of storage. This is intended to be a central fileserver via samba and ftp for all sorts of purposes. I also want to use it to backup my XP laptop. I am having trouble finding out how I can setup solaris to allow my XP machine to backup on a regular schedule, do I look for programs for XP or does solaris have some built in apps that can help with automating this process in terms of syncing folders and allowing for restoration and recovery.
Hmmm...I don't believe there is anything "out of the box" that will let you do this... 1st suggestion: use smbclient (from samba) on OpenSolaris to create a backup of your XP laptop. I don't know the command line for this off the top of my head. 2nd suggestion: find a version of sshd that you can run on your laptop and ssh into it and generate tar files to save locally. e.g. opensolaris$ ssh laptop "tar cf - C:\\" > xplaptop.tar 3rd suggestion: run samba on OpenSolaris and mount a network drive on your laptop, then use ntbackup to do a complete backup to it using the windows scheduler (if you want it automated) Darren _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
