[cruz]

What is an easy meted of backup and recovery of debian perfect setup and how would I go about setting it up. I can set up another server if I need to. Is there a way to Mirer the two and have the data backup to the other server nightly.

Hi,

You can use rsync

Will this work to backup to win xp pro on my intranet?

you can install cygwin and then you do have a few unix/linux programs available... also rsync

If I were to setup another (perfect setup Debian server), will this tutorial work on it?http://www.howtoforge.com/mirroring_with_rsync
