Sigh.
I wasn't asking for an MS backup program.
Exactly the opposite.
I was saying that BackupPC is perfectly adequate for my purposes
in backing up both Linux and Windows computers.

It was you who claimed that the internet was full of MS gurus
just waiting to help users,
and I pointed out that in that case it was odd no-one
(until possibly Les Mikesell) had suggested an MS equivalent.

You haven't said anything to suggest to me that you have superior
"computer knowledge".
In my (very long, I started with a paper-tape machine) experience
one almost always gets better advice on Windows problems
from Unix/Linux gurus.
