My criteria for procedures are:
1. They should minimize the need for additional software beyond the base
system as much as reasonably possible. This means not only that I do not
good idea.
3. They should provide for incremental backups.

Maybe take a look at lftp, at the mirror option. For basic demands its a
compact solution.

try doing backup of things with 1 dirs and million files and certainly
you will understand you need rsync.
ftp protocol is plain bad for that.

lftp does work incremental. Take a look at Chad's posting again and read

ntfsprogs from ports can be helpful. you may use ntfsmount and access NTFS

simplifications of rsync's ability to exclude files or directories, elegant
handling of backups' expirations) are sufficient to make it a worthy
alternative to naked rsync. The frontend is written in Perl and
PXE booting gives a lot of possibilities. I use it to boot Clonezilla to
back up Windows systems. That is better than dd, since only used disk blocks
ntfsclone is what you need. for sure simpler.
For FreeBSD and other open operating systems, sysutils/rsnapshot is a

recommended, presents an elegant and easily-comprehended way to manage rsync's
considerable abilities, not that it provides features that can't be managed
directly by rsync.
Thanks for pointing out that there are Windows ports of rsync, and that you
provide examples of their use. I'm not sure I would entrust my system backups
to them if they come with the disclaimer that you've no idea how stable and
usable they are.

Actually, a Wake-On-LAN feature is not at all necessary for me in this
case. It's a simple enough task to just trigger a backup manually at the
command line via a script that automates the process.
