Then you can mount that smb file export inside your MS-Windows system and start hacking. Easy, but might be a problem if that disk is currently used by the guest system.Ģ.b You export the virtual disk by starting some server in the virtual system: samba is most likely your choice. You can use any protocol for this, as long as it is supported by the mounting tools of your local system.Ģ.a You mount the whole virtual disk. As you probably know, the paid for version of Reflect supports file & folder backup. Also, it has a portable version which I like. But, once you get it set up you really dont have to ever change much again. Most likely you are still limited to creating something like a "network harddrive" or something, in other systems (linux, unix, macOS) you can mount whereever in the file system you like. I know you want something thats real easy and SyncBack has a fairly steep learning curve. not sure about the details how this works in MS-Windows, but I am sure that at least newer versions of MS-Windows have gained such feature. You can 'mount' the guests file system into your MS-Windows file system.

I think the GNOME environment had something similar, but it probably has been removed with version 3 of GNOME. The network stuff is handled transparently by the environment, it is fully network transparent. That means when using a KDE editor like 'kate' or even a whole IDE like 'kdevelop4' you can simply say "open file/project" and not only choose a local file, but something like sftp://server/path/file and start working. To do this execute the following command: sudo apt install timeshift Create Backup by using the Timeshift GUI Create system backup Open the timeshift application via top left Activities menu. It features so called 'kio-slaves' which allow to use any protocol out there as if you were doing local file system operations. First step is to install the Timeshift backup utility on your Ubuntu 20.04 System. Use the KDE desktop environment (yes, it also exists for MS Windows). There are two approaches you can choose from, you will probably select the second one:
