Linux to Windows

[Brent Blayney]

 I'm sure, too.  Apparently, you can't start a filename with a period in 
Win, either, as my previous examples showed.

1120817285.22306_0.mail (works fine)
.1124450874.30945_0.mail (reports 0KB)
.1123700716.P14142Q0M23.mail (reports 0KB)
.1087907444.7006_1.mail.domain.com,U=1,W=42566 (reports 0KB)

Is it possible for Cygwin to emulate an ext2 or ext3 partition on the NTFS 
drive?  The other idea I had was to have a dual-bootsystem and actually back 
up when booted in Linux, but obviously this seriously complicates the 
automation process.> Yep. I'm sure.
