Hey,
I just want to make sure I don't do anything wrong. I have a remote (over 100Mbps LAN) machine with Windows XP and NTFS. My desktop is Linux with ext3 and this is how I do my backup:
First, I created a 80GB file on NTFS, crypted it with LUKS and did mkfs.ext3. I shared this big file over SMB.
Now, when I want to do the backup, I mount SMB, then LUKSopen that big file, mount it as ext3 and perform rdiff-backup.
Is this idea (ext3 in a file shared over SMB) efficient? Is there any better way?
Greetings,
Mateusz
