I don't like Windows Backup at all. I tend to go at that backwards; I
use smbmount to mount shared Windows drives to the Linux box and back
that up with tar. Just don't use the samba smbtar utility. It's a
little faster than glacial migration.
I meant I don't have a LINUX box. Just %$%! windows. When I did use
linux,
I tend to tar the whole HD to a zip disk. This way if I needed to change
HD's
it was easy. But alas Linux (debian) does not boot from floppies any
more, thus rendering it almost as useless as M$.

Windows
can mount linux drives via Samba. Just use your favorite windows
backup program to back up to a file on the linux machine. I currently back
up two of my windows machines to the third in this manner.

But I only have ONE machine with windows. Grrrr
