[Gllug] Killing the client but leaving the process running

[Tom Schutzer-Weissmann]

I used putty to get a terminal on a linux server on my windows machine. Now I want to go home and really I ought to log out of windows, but this will kill my session and an important backup running in the background.

Out of curiosity, is there any way to get round this? 

As I understand it, my backup is a child process of a bash process, and bash is attached to a terminal that happens to be fed over the  network and displayed on my pc. 
So I'm thinking it should be possible for the terminal to be fed somewhere else, leaving my pc to do as it wishes. 
Or even - maybe - the bash process gets a different terminal?

have a good evening,
Tom SW
