[olug] Backing up Linux through NAT

[David Cannon]

@Dan yeah thats what its trying to do.  Can you map a drive through another
machine on a different network(from C to A)?  There is just a crossover
cable between the XP and the Linux box.  I should be able to just map a
folder on the XP machine from the linux box and run a cron job to have it
pull the data I want off the linux box and dump it into the XP machine and
then back up the XP machine like normal from server(A) but include the
extra folder.

I will have to spend some time looking at rsync.  I don't have that much
right now.  I will check it out later though.  Thanks for the suggestion.
