Someone told me there was a command line DOS type utility I could use but I haven't seen anything like that.</p> <p>I have a Linux Server running:</p> <p>Linux version 2.6.9-89.0.23.ELsmp (mockbuild@builder10.centos.org) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-11)) #1 SMP Wed Mar 17 06:55:21 EDT 2010</p> <p>The Linux Box host vmware's Server which in turn host a virtual machine.</p> <p>I need to backup the entire Linux Box to my Windows 2003 Server with the goal of being able to do a cold metal restore should the linux box fail. I am looking for something that I can schedule to do a full backup and has a restore utility built into it.</p> <p>Thanks --JC</p>JCFri, 07 May 2010 12:51:54 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/363/backup-my-linux-box-to-a-windows-serverbackupcoldmetalrestorebaremetalrestorewindows
