I'm sure many of us have friends and family with Windows Machines. And the savvy among us run our own Linux Backup server / NAS boxes.
How do you get regular, automated copies of data off said Windows machines?
I would like to only hear from folks that actively using a solution. Not a list of 'exercise for the reader' google results.
# Goal:
To recover from a ransom-ware infection, by pulling the last clean snapshot of user data from the NAS.
# Assumptions:
Snapshots are handled by the Backup Server / NAS at a FS layer (ZFS / BTRFS), or by the server side backup software.
# Nice to haves:
* In-transit encryption.
# Not an Acceptable Answers:
Open Samba on the windows box, mounting it on the backup server, and running rsync regularly.
Thanks in advance!
rdiff-backup will run on windows and claims to be able to store windows file attributes. I have used it and it works but not being much for windows I did not do a whole lot with it. rdiff-backup uses ssh for communication so the link is encrypted but the data on the storage end is not. -- Alvin Starr || voice: (905)513-7688 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin@netvel.net ||
