'''Can I use Affa to backup Windows machines?'''<br>
  −
Yes. You need a ssh daemon and rsync installed on the Windows box. Cygwin has been reported not to work. The rsync processes often tend to hang up. Other products may work, but there are no experiences yet.
  −
Alternatively you can smbmount the Windows disk to a directory on a SME server and setup a job to backup this directory.
  −
  −
/bin/mount -t cifs //192.168.1.65/C$ /mnt/mywinpc/ -o username=Adminstrator,password=xxxxxx
  −
  −
If the Affa server is local to the Windows domain, you alternatively can use the Affa automount properties
  −
  −
AutomountDevice=>'//192.168.1.65/C$'
  −
AutomountPoint=>'/mnt/mywinpc/'
  −
AutomountOptions=>'-t cifs -o username=Adminstrator,password=xxxxxx'
  −
  −
Note: You may want to define a file that contains the username and password instead of having them in the AutomountOptions string. See 'man mount.cifs' for further information
  −
  −
Note: Affa cannot preserve the Windows ACLs. After a restore you must set owner and groups manually.
