    I’m not shaming. I’m offering a simple Solution. The backups can be automated and you can NetBoot the restore process off that rsync target so you don’t have to be distracted at work. You can have a simple plan to execute if you get these calls while you are at work so there is no problem you can’t instantly reverse. It takes no time to pull off after you’ve set it up.

      I do not agree about this being a simple solution, especially if you want to set up netboot for this, but I don’t want to engage this discussion any further since we’re just talking about a solution to a problem that I don’t have and I don’t care to solve, so maybe we should just agree to disagree?

      Think about it like this: they just want a PB&J because it’s quick, simple, and works for them and you’re telling them to go out to the store and get ingredients to make a salad because it’s quick, simple, and works for you.

      You’re both right. You can eat your salad and they can eat their PB&J and all will be well in Linuxland. That’s the beauty of it.

        I appreciate what you are saying but there a misunderstanding. I trying to tell someone to do something.

        I’m telling them a way to do something.

        There’s no requirement to do things my way or even do them at all. I was trying to suggest there is an option available that might meet his criteria.
