I don't. I really want a replacement for sbackup.
Anyway the Netgear Backup tool seems to be a bit brain-dead. It will allow me
to select the 'HOME' Share on the remote PC, but not any underlying
directories as far as I can see. Worse, there is nothing in the manual that
would indicate that I can exclude my Downloads, RPi SD Card or VMWare
directories - a combined total of nearly 100 GB. I have never kept backups of
stuff that I can easily download from the Internet, my SDCards are archived
elsewhere and I know from bitter experience that my VMWare .vmdk files get
archieved every time they are touched, resulting in tens of copies of multiple
20 - 30 GB files.
In other words, it's useless for anything other than backing up the
directories of the average home user.
