Good day,


I have a user who wants Ext3 file systems to backup to when doing a upgrade
, Which i know is from linux or Unix based operating systems, Will this user
have issues backing up to my NTFS partion from the Ext3 partition on his
linux server or is there something special i need to do?


Thanks

If NTFS is on the same system as the Linux box, then it will be a
problem because NTFS is read-only to Linux. There are utils out there
that allow you to write to it, but it can be very very dangerous and
unstable.

If you’re using a network to connect between the two, then files could
be copied from the Linux box to the Server no problem.

He might need to install Samba on the Linux system in order to access
the Server, unless this is already on there.

If he’s in the GUI, he can type smb:/ to see what Windows Servers are
accessible.
