Hi,
I done that before, u need to get unix support package from microsoft,
there is free package there. Download and install, next setup nfs on
your window server. Mount it on linux server, now u can use rsync. With
only one problem to resolve.. UID/GID/permission bits?? there is setting
option in nfs server in microsoft server, play around. All I did is
archive the hold package so that it doesn't all critical informations.
alter native.. yes there is rsync package in windows. again the
UID/GID/permission bits will be a problem... usually better the other
way around ;)
