Windows 10 backup options
How do you all backup the Windows computer of your family members or kids?
On my OpenBSD box I use tarsnap But to use that on the Windows box of my wife, you will have to install Cygwin, But I don't want to install it on an already aging nearly full 500GB disk. I am also looking into Amazon S3/glacier as backup option. Does anybody experience with that? When googling for Amazon S3 for Windows I came across a reference to https://winscp.net/eng/index.php that seems to have S3 support. WinSCP would also give me the opportunity to backup the Windows files to Open/FreeBSD first and probably would be faster than via the internet to Amazon S3. PS When searching the OpenBSD ports tree at https://openports.pl/path/sysutils/rclone found an OpenBSD port of rclone Also looks interesting ..... Questions, questions .... Any answers, experiences?

20 years ago it was quite simple to use Samba and Windows. But now the first thing the Samba docs are talking about is a domain controller. And I don't think Windows 10 home edition can function as a domain controller

I only have a Windows 10 (Pro) QEMU VM I use for testing, but I can go to the "Sharing" tab in the properties on any directory to set stuff up. You can also use `net share` from the command prompt. You can even enable SSH from the settings on Windows nowadays and you've got OpenSSH: Code:
% nc localhost 9923 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1 ^C % ssh windows Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1826] (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. martin@WINDOWS-PUV3U0J C:\Users\martin> I usually run my Windows machine headless and use it only for "go test" from ssh. If the amount of data isn't that large, you can sync things with scp, which I what I do to sync the code.

Thanks, I found a document how to set up Windows file sharing without setting up a domain.
More than 20 years ago I used to backup my wife's stuff on her DrDOS machine with Lan Manager, which supported the SMB protocol. At that time this book was very helpful: https://www.amazon.com/Samba-Black-B.../dp/1576104559 A few days ago I installed FreeBSD 13.1 on an USB stick and happened to see FreeBSD has a nsmb.conf(5) file in /etc/
