Must be the server. Aside from cooker changelog notices, yours is the 
first post I've seen in this list or in the cooker list since 7-11.

It was Bastille Day today in France, so it could have been a crash that no one 
was around to notice (unlikely since Linux doesn't crash :-p) or the list was 
shut down for the weekend on purpose.

What are some methods for doing full and incremental backups of files in
a Windows 2000 box located remotely using a mandrake box?  Any
recommendations and sharing of your techniques would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You can share the backup folder in W2K, and map it in Linux using Samba.
Then backup from there.

Well, if it was a server crash, it's one hell of an ad for a software company, 
isn't it? Three days to get it back up is two days and twenty hours too long. 
OTOH, if it was intentional, what's wrong with a little warning?

This is the third outage in the last six weeks, and there were two others 
earlier this year. I'm starting to feel like the Peter Finch character in the 
movie Network. The last two times I've posted to the Offtopic area in the 
Mandrake Club forum. Total responses: Zilch, nada, zero, aught, naught, 
cipher, zip, nil, nothing, goose egg.

Let's see now: We're getting ready to start the 9.2 release process, so let's 
screw up the mail lists and then we won't be bothered by a lot of people 
posting bugs. Sounds like DIlbert's PHB, doesn't it?

The connection has a max data-rate of 256Kb/sec.  Rsync for

What sort of connection do you have between the machines? If it's
relatively fast, you can try something like g4u which does a complete
disk image. 

Depending on lots of factors, you could also try:
1) Backup to CD-R for the initial backup, rsync for incrementals.
2) winscp to the Linux ftp server
3) WinCVS to a Linux CVS server

There's a Windows rsync client that you could use. I've never tried
rsync to a Windows rsync server, but the reverse seems to work fine
(windows client to Linux rsync server). That is, I've not had any major
problems, though setup wasn't exactly smooth.

Thanks,

 Thanks,

Vincent,
   Whats the card.  The reason I'm asking is that it is possible the
card itself doesn't support some of these functions.  Mine for example
(NetGear MA401A) won't do monitor mode so a lot of iwspy functionality
won't happen.
