Anyone inclined to do such a thing? I backup my entire LAN to a exabyte 8mm DAT on a NT server, which works fine using SAMBA, but to restore it .. a re-install re-config etc is needed, where a basic OS bootup and SAMBA is all thats needed (or at least so it seems, I could be waaaaaaaay off base). 8-)
