Unfortunately, no. I have just the Linux laptop and the Windows 
2000 desktop. I need them both. Wish I had something expendable 
to try it out on.

In the meantime I keep trying to work with Simple Backup Solution. 
Lotsa bugs still. But maybe it will get good enough soon enough 
that I won't need the Dump files.
