		+	If you have SAMBA running on the LinkStation, you can map the drives on your client PCs and use offline file synchronization (if you log-in one user at a time) or SyncToy (if you need fast user switching). This is a simple way to synchronize files between a windows PC and a LinkStation

	rsync basically creates 1:1 copies of existing directory trees. It does not directly support incremental backups (not to be confused with the incremental updates it does), and it requires syncing to multiple remote destinations if a backlog of backups (snapshots in time) is supposed to be kept. On the other hand it reduces network traffic for your backup and there are tutorials to set up some kind of [[http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ "snapshot-style"]] incremental backups without using too much disk space (although it reduces redundancy for your archive).		rsync basically creates 1:1 copies of existing directory trees.
