I may dump this client.......for sanity reasons.

Jeez Louise. Aren't you the lucky one! Tell him sure, Unix can run Windows
from a VM. And that still won't solve his backup problem.

Give him a quote for a real backup solution suitable for a home user like
mine or give him Bob I's Double-Take solution. Or tell him you'll set up a
Linux cluster with mirrored drives and quote him something huge. Don't
forget to throw in a lot of money for strengthening his floor and include a
huge cooling system.

Better still, take your own advice above. ;-)

Good luck!
