Thanks for the warnings.
I think most of them were related to having NTFS as the backup target, right?
I want to backup Win2K ms-sql servers to a Linux box (Suse) running XFS as the
FS.
Do you think that should work smoothly?
PS: I hope to build up a test win2k server this afternoon. I can then test the
process with a small DB.
