the cgi-interface status page shows me:

Use Windows Backup to save System State data. Create a job that runs
periodically and saves the data on the local machine. To restore from
bare metal:
1) Install Windows and get the system on the network.
2) Use BackupPc to restore the files to the new system.

Tricky question which I'm sure someone else here can answer (and I'm a UNIX
guy so not that involved in Windows-type installations). But bare-metal

the way we've been doing off-site backup is usually:
- get a second backuppc server somewhere offsite, backing up the most
critical information
OR
- use a tape backup system (which has the advantage of

now it works).
