And now...this: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/23/05/28/0124209/microsoft-announces-cloud-powered-os-backup-and-restore-for-windows-11-better-arm-support

I want to be horrified about having this in the MS cloud, but then many folks have exactly that in the Google or Apple clouds for phones, though granted the risk-of-loss factors for phones are higher than for PCs sitting at home.  Risks for laptops are probably a lot closer to phones though...

Still, if Win-11 is able to *reliably* back itself up to the cloud (taking into account the issues Roch originally raised), might it be possible to hijack that capability and self-host it?  I'm sure they'll make that as hard as possible, then then, Samba exists.

Later,
JP
