That is correct; many of the filesystem features on which BackupPC relies are implemented quite differently, to the extent that they're available at all under Windows XP. > Can any of you think of a way that it could be done?

Yes, that would work, since it would be ... running a version of Linux. Keep in mind that its drain on the virtualized network and filesystem might be considerable. > And for those whom might simply say, "Just use Linux," I don't want to > just use Linux. Errr... If you scroll up to your last paragraph, you just suggested that you just use Linux in a virtual machine, so I'm not entirely sure what to tell you, except that *nix is required. Not necessarily Linux, of course. > Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
