Dual boot machine backup startegy?: msg#00129

Subject: Dual boot machine backup startegy?

I now have BackupPC working great for our 5 machine home lan of mixed Mac, Linux and XP machines. The only kicker is I am not sure how to handle my personal desktop machine, which is a dual-boot XP/Linux machine.

When it is linux, I want it to backup using rsync, backing up /etc, /home, /usr/local, etc.

When it is up as XP, there is a samba share of documents I wat to grab.

Should I add it as 2 different hostname aliases, albeit the same ip, and let the failures fall where they may? Would that work?

Thanks,

Chris
