Hello, Does anyone know a good way to completely back up a FreeBSD server (running= things like Apache, a mail server, sshd, etc) to my home WinXP box? The server is co-located away from home, and instead of paying for offsite= storage for backup purposes, can't I just use my broadband connection to= make differential backups to my home WinXP computer? It seems that I could either: a) schedule a program on my WinXP box that ssh's to the server to retrieve= the files; or b) use cron to cause the server to ssh to my WinXP box to push the files to= me. Option 'b' seems more secure to me for some reason ... is there a FreeBSD= port/package that can handle that, if I were to run a ssh server on my= home computer? I do have a static IP address, but if that were to ever= change, I suppose option 'a' might be easier. Ideas? Thanks, Chris Fila Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
