Here is what i am looking to do. i have a server SBS 2k3 machine. I want to load linux on it then virtualize the SBS server inside the linux installation. I would then be able to compress backup just the sbs virtual file instead of screwing with the backup programs inside of windows(even symantec's and yosemitie's stuff leaves much to be desired). What are my options both free and commercial? I know i will have to upgrade the memory to about 2 gigabytes..:) -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.
