I don't know the details, but apparently Samba is much faster than nfs. We
have some folks out here who mount networked linux drives via Sambe and it
works well for them.
The issue with BRU I cannot address. I've been running bru for a couple of
years now, and used to back up the win95 and dos7 partitions with it, too.
All I did was mount the partitions (/mnt/win95 and /mnt/dos7) and bru backed
them up, too.
Now I'm running VMware so the virtual win98 machine is a 2G file in ext2
format. No problem there, either.
