SUMMARY
This article explains how to perform Win32 back ups on Interix.



MORE INFORMATION
It is possible to start a command-line Win32 backup program through Interix by using Cron.

IMPORTANT: This method is not recommended because Win32 files can have many different levels of security. Interix recognizes all levels of security but may not be able to properly back them up. This is because the Interix utilities are built in UNIX and can only store the three sets of permissions that would be displayed using the ls -l command. Win32 backup programs are able to store the complete set of permissions on a file and operate correctly on Interix files.
