Hi Brian
Thanks for your feedback and concerns !

I have absolutely no idea how to get the TCP/IP unit visible nor do I
know how to mount without any more specific data !!

Have tried a few net commands without fortune ;-(
 
Sorry ;-|


Regarding the implication of backing up ext3 to fat 32:
Well I am interested to hear and learn about but don't worry about it !
My primary backup/s will be a rsync from ext3 to ext3 to an external USB
HDD !!
An additional backup will be tar to the same unit also ext3 to ext3 !!!
