Cody, Thanks for such an inclusive document!
Many times we as administrators have very limited time to scour all the links related to the many parts of everything we need to manage our customers. I guess I must have look at every link I could find trying to find a working solution that encapsulated Ubuntu, XP, rsync and LVM. I wish there was one place we could find actual real-world working examples like this one, but unfortunately once many administrators get theirs working, they rarely peruse the discussion groups anymore to give back. Excellent article. -obj Cody Dunne said the following on 04/01/2009 12:12 PM: > Hi Mauro, > > Mauro Condarelli wrote: > >> Hi, >> I managed to have my backups working for my Linux machines. >> Now I need to add a Win Vista machine as client. >> I browsed the wiki, but I didn't find anything specific and the >> guidelines for XP seem very old. >> What is the "approved" method to backup a current (Vista Home SP1) machine? >> I have one share plus the User settings to backup. >> >> Any pointers welcome. >> > > Rsyncd seems to work best, with a preconfigured ssh tunnel if you want > encryption.
