Exactly. Our backup scenario is that backups are make in vehicles zipping
about the planet, and these are sent to various offices and/or clients. So,
interoperability is a requirement. There is a very nice K backup suite that
we were considering using. But, being K, was not available for MS OS. We
could implement a nice backup system, but you needed the same software to
unpack it.
