Hello!
I've been asked to consider implementing a push-style backup for roaming
users: users that are out of the office and irregularly connected to the
Internet. We would like to be able to back up the profile of such users.
We would like to avoid cloud-based services due to privacy concerns: we
would like to control the data. That eliminates things such as Carbonite.
I have thought about dirty hacks such as scripting an rsync on the client
to a centralized rsync server (and then using BackupPC to, say, hourly
back up that server), but it's a pretty dirty hack... I'm hoping for
something a little more... polished (at least). We would also like to
avoid having to establish a VPN for such a solution.
Does anyone have any experience with such a tool where computers in random
locations can connect to an in-house server to back up files
automatically?
Thank you , and I apologize for the OT nature, but I figure my fellow
BackupPC users might have some suggestions! (At least I'm not asking how
to back up the pool... ;) )
