The basic idea is that each user that connects has a separate user id on the file server. This can be accomplished with either NFS or SMB, but the details are specific to the protocol used. I use a nearly identical command to backup Karen's home directory. She is on a separate computer, so I set the crontab there. The only real difference is that she backs up every hour on the half hour where I back up every hour on the hour. @Bruce

I use a nearly identical command to backup Karen’s home directory. She is on a separate computer, so I set the crontab there. The only real difference is that she backs up every hour on the half hour where I back up every hour on the hour.

Second, how do you backup the /Users/karen directory (the cron command only has your's)? I’m putting together a very similar setup, but am wondering about two details:
