THANKS group!
So, Now I am at the step of just figuring out setting up my backups. I took
the suggestions of creating the symbolic link before I installed from the
ubuntu software center. Seems like it is up and running and working with
the "defaults" and default localhost they setup.
Now I can move on to getting my setups done. I most likely will start with
SMB to do the backups of my windows machines, but then move to the
suggested rsync and cgwin. Been a long time since I used cgwin, have been
using Xmin/Putty combination for a while so just some more re-learning.
Again THANKS to the group....
