[BackupPC-users] Windows 2003 Server

[Brian B. <bb...@ar...>]

I've been backing up clients very well since I got BackupPC configured
correctly for my environment.  The clients are either Windows XP or Windows
2000 PC's.  Using rsyncd works very well on these clients.
 
How does it work on a Windows 2003 Standard Server?   I'd like to begin
backing up the data drives on this server (not the C Drive), but I'm
concerned because of the OS, it is backed up to tape, and because the
business system runs on it.  
 
It is currently getting backed up to tape, e.g., Full Backups on Friday's
and Differential Backups Monday through Thursday nights.  There are 5 data
drives (Logical Drives) on the server that I'd like to back up.
 
Is there any problems using rsyncd on a Windows 2003 Server?
 
Will the BackupPC backups reset the archive bit and confuse the Tape
Backups?
 
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
BTW, great software!  BackupPC is nearly effortless once setup and
configured properly.  I've got 29 Full backups and 115 Incremental backups
from 30 hosts (clients) in one week's time.
