backing up windows

[Wil McGilvery]

Windows XP has a backup utility that can be run from the command line. (From previous threads, I believe you have windows XP)

To find out more go start, run and type ntbackup.

Get out of the wizard by going to advanced options and look under backing up data in the help file.

A simple bat file will do what you want.

I have just had an answer to my exhortations to Zeus! A national PC
mag which has for a while been putting in some linux software on its
free cd's, included 'Ext2FS Anywhere 2,5'. It had some blurb about being
able to see linux partitions and files from windows.

I thought that this was one of those windows hacks, but decided to give it
a try. Lo and behold it managed to find and mount the partitions I wished 
to see
: i.e /home /backup /build etc. I can transfer files back and forth just as 
I can
from a linux booted system.

So I now have the ability to do backups from windows partitions to linux
partitions. What I would like is reccomendations for a win backup program
that can be automated and made to save to a particular destination.

Skippy
