Hmmm... yes, the thought did spring to mind.

I will see about that next month, or if I manage to get the laptop done.
(I need that to be on, at home and running Linux - I have to run Windows
on it for work purposes.)

Of course, I could try putting flexbackup on it too, to generate the
data. I will work on that plan and also see whether I could do something
similar with my partner's Windows box. It does have cygwin on it but I
am having trouble accessing it by smb.
