Interesting idea, but I only run the current Windows machine because of
games and a few programs I can't get on Mac or have already paid for on
Windows. For now I need the client to do the work.

I will eventually replace my current backup server, but it won't be
Windows. Needs to be able to back up UNIX machines, and I generally hate
Windows server.

My current backup server 3 years ago was outrun by the amount of data I
have, and I still haven't replaced it. Seems someone always wants my
money for something else when I get ready to do it.

I might consider that for a friend though: nothing but Windows machines,
and several of them.
