Scenario &lt;The idea&gt;<br />
On Backup Server<br />
1. Fedora Core server deployed with 3 units 120GB hard disk in Raid 5 mode - default minimal install - main purchase is to function as a data backup server<br />
2. RSYNC installed and running as a daemon<br />
3. Create users, each assigning particular quota<br />
<br />
(b) On Windows Client PCs / Notebooks<br />
1. GUI frontend so that the users can select folders to backup, frequency of backup i.e hours, days, weeks etc<br />
2. Additional options include where to put these backup i.e server LAN IP address, user login id, user login password<br />
3. Simple user interface for restore from the Linux Rsync Server<br />
<br />
During backups, files from Windows Client PCs / Notebooks are RSYNCed over to the Fedora server via SSH<br />
<br />
Question: Do you know how I can get this running? I *should* be able to handle the server RSYNC with the user quotas but if you are able to provide me with a step-by-step that would be great. But the main question is how and where can I get the GUI on the windows PCs and notebooks? Please advise.

Rsync Server -&gt; Windows Client PC -&gt; Scheduler and GUI for backup?

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
