Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but it's just a virtual host for testing things, and maybe building some Windows software -- anything of import goes on a network share, so if the virt goes Tango Uniform, I'll still have the data. Can't really test Windows very well without using their backup. I got backups working with an "E:" drive backed by an iSCSI initiator, then figured out how to set the backups to use the Samba share provided by a Synology Diskstation. As I wrote under separate cover: On Windows 11, the network login for the control-panel-style backups has to be prefixed with the workgroup name, e.g. "WORKGROUP\username". Also, h/t to Paul for his post last week(?) about how to remove BitLocker from a partition...there doesn't seem to be a way to do it from the GUI, nor would Windows 11 let me set up a partition without BL. (In PowerShell, I ran: manage-bde -off E: -- after that, I could get at the NTFS filesystem in the iSCSI partition in Linux.) -- -v
