Thanks lads. I really am liking the idea of rsync as an alternative to
SyncToy as a backup of my music RAID array, so will persevere to try
and get it working... I've posted on a couple of other forums to find
out whether the hardware I'm using is capable of running mount.cifs
(that looks to be
The great thing about rsync is that it can work over an ssh tunnel. I
use it that way to backup my Slug to the Slug at my parent's house.
Poor man's offsite backup! It runs via a cron job using a keypair so
it's totally automated.

advice on how to efficiently backup my music drive?

rsync direct and forget about using shares
To begin with I added the netbook into the /etc/hosts file on my
Squeezecenter box

I then added my own squeezebackup directory in the /shares/internal
directory
Another good backup application to use is BackupPC. You simply run this
on your linux machine and it will backup all of your machines via CIFS
or rsync. (Will backup windows, mac, linux)
It does a copule of nice things that a simple rsync won't do:
1: If you have the same file on 2 computers,
