Hi, at the momente I'm taking backups of linux clients only. We have a couple of Windows server that use ghost (or a similar software) to dump an backup image to a linux share which then gets backed up by backuppc.
This is working fine, but is a waste of space. We keep 2 images (2 weeks) which results in >400GB for about 10 server. Most of the server are mostly indentical. The people that are responsible for these server want to be able to recover the whole machine in as little time as possible. I know that I can use rsyncd or smb for backing up windows machines. But what would be a good solution to restore a server from scratch without reinstall the OS first? Is there a way to achieve this with backuppc and some add-on's? I'd love to use the pooling for the windows clients too. BTW: I've found some posts about using VSS with rsync.
