The bottom line is that I need a procedure for moving and backing up an

task?


And just why would you expect one OS to properly support admin
of a foreign OS?

There's any number of tools for doing what you want within the
Windows environment ( "ghost", for instance ), so why cripple
yourself insisting on using Linux?

I sure wouldn't use Windows to admin Linux or SunOS to admin
a MAC. But then I'm a pragmatist.
