ltorg Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I've used Retrospect on my Macs at work for a number of years, so I'm pretty comfortable with it. But now I'm facing Windows and Linux... At home I have 2 WinXP systems and 1 Linux box with a removeable drive. My old strategy was to back up the Windows machines to their own removeable drives, but I want to consolodate all that. Since Retrospect for Windows 7.5 doesn't have a Linux version that I'm aware of, can I use one Windows computer to back up both the windows boxes over the network to a Samba shared Linux drive (the removeable one)? Will a recovery CD be able to recover a backup off the networked drive? (Say one Win HD dies, I replace the drive, boot from a recovery CD and recover from the networked drive backup..) thanks for any tips!

nekr0phage Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Whats more, you have your choice of tar or rpm: http://emcinsignia.com/supportupdates/updates/#UPDATETYPE51 You will be able to backup to a networked share, however if it is a removable drive I personally would connect it to the backup machine.
