Hi everyone,
Could someof you be kind enough to "vett" my backup design for my small Peer
to Peer LAN.
Configuration: 3 notebooks behind a Netgear RT314 router.
Machine A: notebook has a cdrw drive and XP home, NTFS
Machine B: notebook XP home, NTFS
Machine C: notebook Win98SE, FAT32
Backup plan:
Weekly incremental data backups using Stomp BackupMyPC from Machines B and C
to a shared backup directory on machine A.
Following this, backup shared directory on Machine A to CD/RW.
Questions/Issues:
1. Does this sound OK? If not, what would be better?
2. Do I run BackupMyPC from Machine A to get the data off machines B and C,
or do I run BackupMyPC on each machine and backup from B and C to A?
3. Will Machine C, being Win98SE, be able to "see" the shared folder on
machine A given the differences in the file system. If not, how do I get
around this?
My many thanks in advance.
