[ILUG] backing up a windows nas with linux

Hi,

I guess I may not have understood this suggestion fully.

1. How does Ghost 4 Linux take an image off a windows box?
2. Do you mean G4L would give me a disk image to write to tape?  I doubt
   this would be ideal for restoring files from the tapes (in the way of
   say tar).  I guess we'd have to restore the whole image, mount it loop
   and then look at the files.

It may be that the disk image is the only way to preserve this in which
case, I guess this is not a runner :-(

Thanks,
Gavin
