I dont know if this would meet your needs, but a suggestion would be to make a mirror of the windows box using cygwin and rsync. rsync has some great exclusion/inclusion features.
You could then backup the mirror. We do that here, and it is nice because I only need to run to tape in dire emergency, otherwise I have a mirror which is a day or two lagging the master. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeremy L.
