Retrospect resides on the windows platform and uses samba shares (networked
clients via tcp) to access the Qube2.

The dual backup strategy makes sense. Some have suggested that the built-in
software is not reliable for restores. If all it is used for is to track
config files, then restore can be done by other means.
