Hi Stephen,

This is what I currently do with some Linux servers ... its ok, but I don't
let samba "publish" the whole system ... just the user data areas.  The
biggest problem is that you can't preserve the linux file ownership or
permissions.  This is acceptable for user data, but not for a whole system.

I'm also trialing the Retrospect "beta" Linux client ... it's great!

Cheers,  Malcolm

What about running Samba on the Unix machine and backing it up across the
network as an NT volume?

The situation I'm in is that the client has this monster 600-gig Unix
fileserver that they want to back up, but everything else on the network is
NT. The files on the big server rarely change (think optical
jukebox--although it's not that exactly, just a huge RAID array with static
files on it) but they want it backed up as well in case it should ever
crash.

Would the beta client be able to accommodate that scenario?
