Is there a way to mount a windows share (win98, win2k) and copy all files and attributes (tar) to a unix backup store to be used as full recovery backup ? My suggested scenario for backup is: - copy a full system partition of windows to a tar file. My suggested scenario for restore is: - Make a inital installation of windows - mount the system drive to unix using smb - copy the whole backup back. Is such a scenario possible ? Are the other possiblites for such a full system backup, not triggered by the windows box ? Rainer
