not to split hairs but I mentioned rsync being more efficient as it only
copies changed bits.
Problem with just using Xcopy is it doesn't support ftp (afaik I could be
proved wrong) I guess you could mount the FTP drive with the old netdrive,
but me I would prefer to do it with as few tools as
What's the difference? I have My Documents (or any other directory
with precious files) with all subfolders, which I want to be also
stored somewhere else, so when my drive blows up I can get all that
stuff back. And any changes in any file under My Documents should be
reflected in the copy on
with xcopy I use /d (only copy files with newer date). Actually I
use: /d /s /y. Maybe these aren't optimal?
No-one has mentioned that rsync is actually VERY CLEVER at minimising
bandwidth and proudly announces at the end of the sync job that it's
done something like 1% of the bandwidth

Andre.
Well, do you want just to do backups or are you looking for something
fancier?
Your original mail mentioned only backups in the body (as I recall)
but
Given that my Lacie Ethernet disk just died, I was thinking of solid
backup solutions for my personal files (20-30Gb). Since I have already
Linux hosting with way more disk space than I need, I thought it will
be great if I could sync a folder on my local drive to a folder on
that Linux box...

you can also apply rsync over ssh.
there are a number of OS ssh servers for windows.

One 'Microsoft' way would be to use SyncToy[0]. To use it you would only
have to mount a samba share from the linux box as a network drive.

Is there something not necessarily based on rsync? ftp, for example?

ftp is the last resort, rsync is obviously a better one. Also, not
aware of good tools that would check the differences in directory
trees and update only the files that are different over ftp.

Windows has the archive bit built in. You could simply xcopy/robocopy any
files with the archive bit to a staging directory then ftp up that
eg:
*xcopy path:\to\Files\ path:\to\staging /m /e /v /c /y*
Then use your favourite scriptable ftp client to upload it, there are a few
out there, I think
I've just this minute finished setting up something very similar at work.
I installed cygwin and now run backup as an rsync/cron job. It might be
overkill, but I've found that there are so many other reasons to have a bash
shell on Windows, and cron/rsync/ssh works a treat.
