I'm sure many of us have friends and family with Windows Machines. And 
the savvy among us run our own Linux Backup server / NAS boxes.

How do you get regular, automated copies of data off said Windows machines?

I would like to only hear from folks that actively using a solution.
Not a list of 'exercise for the reader' google results.


# Goal:

To recover from a ransom-ware infection, by pulling the last clean 
snapshot of user data from the NAS.

# Assumptions:

Snapshots are handled by the Backup Server / NAS at a FS layer (ZFS / 
BTRFS), or by the server side backup software.

# Nice to haves:

* In-transit encryption.

# Not an Acceptable Answers:

Open Samba on the windows box, mounting it on the backup server, and 
running rsync regularly.


Thanks in advance!
