Linux Backup Batch question
I have a customer that has a network of about 25 workstations.
All workstations are windows98, they have a NT4 Server and Novell 3x. They had two drives crash in a RAID on the NT server and lost all their data several weeks ago. What they want is an on-line backup drive kinda like NAS. They have a PII 450MHz that they would like to put 100GB hard drive in to act as an on-line backup in addition to their DAT. My question is this. I wanted to setup Linux with SAMBA to accompolish this mapping a drive to one 98 workstation and have them click on a batch file to copy from NT to Linux. However they want the Backup box to automatically copy from the NT server. Unfortunatly I am mainly familiar with windows/DOS as an operating system. can you make a batch like file to copy from an NT server to the Linux box from Linux and schedual it to run every night at 4am?
Breakdown...
Need Linux box to map or see NT4 server and copy c,d,e,f drives to local drive on linux box, and have it automatically run on a schedual.
Any help would be appricated.
