**alarm system** · 30-10-08, 07:17 PM

hi guys any one know of a good OS for a server that has a backup tool to backup up all pc on a network every day automatically or a program for xp that will do the same thing

Thats a curious post.
You want to back up "all pc" on a network ,do you mean the OS on each pc or the data?
I would have thought the choice would be linux if it is only the data but it could be done to backup the system with it with a fairly simple "dd " copy in a script I suppose run regularly with "cron".

Fairly straight forward with linux but no idea if xp could do it , seems like it should be able to though.
