If the copying is only for backup, you could use amanda and Samba for |
| 11 |
the job. I've only done it with a single XP crate but it worked |
| 12 |
flawlessly and has the advantage of allowing backups to devices smaller |
| 13 |
than the backupee's disks, or even smaller than individual files, in |
| 14 |
case they should be \LARGE. |
