My company has a client that has mostly windows machines but has 1 Unix machine(still trying to find out what version..Solaris, AIX, etc) and they want me to do a full backup of this Unix machine and store it on one of their windows servers.
Is there a not too difficult way of doing this?
They only use this Unix machine occasionally for file access but don't want to lose the info stored on the machine.
I appreciate any help provided and if more info is needed(I'm sure there is lol) let me know what info I need to properly diagnose and I can try to obtain it from my client.
The OS version is displayed with command

This you can copy to Windows.
Windows Winzip can read the contents.
For restore on Unix, first list the contents with
then do a partial restore of a certain directory or file listed by the previous command:
A restore of a directory is always recursive, including sub-directories.
Be careful: omitting the <directory_or_file_shown_by_tar_tf> will restore everything!
Also be warned: this method helps after an accidental file deletion, but is not a disaster recovery (damaged disk etc.).
