Jon, Thanks for the reply.
This is what I was wondering if could be done.. mount the XP box from
the linux box and maybe use dd or something. I've been asked if it were
possible to back up XP boxes through the linux one without having to do
anything on the XP boxes. I've sort of given up on it but if it is
possible, and perhaps as easy as some kind of mount command syntax, then
perhaps I will hit google again and see what I can find. I've tried
smbmount but don't know the command well enough to make it work or know
if it will work. The documents always assume more knowledge than I have.
cheers, Jim
