Hi Chris

So both servers are on-site, and you will use removable disks so you can take the backups off-site? That's exactly what I do.

Some different methods:

1. Rsync on both windows and NT. On Windows, Rsync runs under cygwin. One site with an installer is

2. Share the dirs you want backed up on NT, mount them on your linux box then use rsync on the linux box only. This method also allows you to use rdiff-backup (which is a layer on top of rsync) so you can have a month's worth of incremental backups.

3. Use SAMBA on the linux box and make a drive available to the NT box. Then use a program to sync the files
