Re: laptop and different networks
You should take a look at the whereami package. It's great for moving between different network profiles. Tim On Fri, May 13, 2005 at 11:34:53AM +0200, Daniel Déchelotte wrote: > Hi, > > H.

Re: Back up a Windows box w/o Samba?
Or, you could look into Bacula (www.bacula.org). It's a simple backup system that has GNU/Linux and Windows clients. There's a Debian package for it too. :) Tim Jonathan Melhuish wrote: Silvan wrote: I'm thinking a (Cygwin) bash script on the Windows box to rsync (or something) his files. It needs to be able to grab everything. I haven't thought it all the way through, and I'm looking for clever ideas. Dircha's solution is probably going to be a lot easier for 10Mb of files, but if the amount to backup starts to grow, or you'd like to back up in both directions, setting up something like Rsync is going to pay off. In that vein, you might like to check out Unison, which claims to run on both Windows and Unix: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ Let us know how you get on, I might be interested in setting up a similar system myself.
