However, I have run into a few problems. If you specify a directory name, it will backup the CONTENTS of that directory - not the directory itself - unless you specify that exact same directory name in the destination directory as well. This is a problem since if you are backing up a directory with SPACES in the name, it doesn't handle it well. I was able to specify the directory using Windows 8+3 name (with a ~1 at the end, etc), but it gives errors when trying to create a destination directory of that name. Perhaps it can be done - but one wonders why in this day and age there isn't decent incremental remote backup software available that would eliminate this need to muck about with command lines in Windows.

I'm sure there's a way to do it, but those directions are leaving something out, as I keep getting errors when I follow the directions.

However, I do keep gigs of handy data on the server so I can share it between work and home.
