Well, although windows is suck, the powershell is not bad. I like it more than bash.

So, on pure Windows solution, I have no access like char device file and command like `mt`, the only solution I have is LTFS.

By formating LTFS everytime before use, it's kinda like `mt rewind`. Also I can set the volume name to the date of backup, which, kinda be helpful.

Also, on Windows, I use 7zr (the console version of 7z) with compression level 0 to tar ball everything. One important feature I need is the ability to exclude folders, like $Recovery and "System volume information" etc. That rule out zip command.
