> Any other thoughts or suggestions, Justin? Anyone? I'm late to this thread but thought I'd share a recent solution, not CF based, I've found for remote backups:
SyncBack: http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/sbp-features.html $15 windows shareware (also a freeware version). It allows you to designate any number of directories or entire drives (including networked drives) and synchronize them to another location, including an ftp server. You can do a true synch, or a mirroring one way or the other. You can then set it to run automatically using Windows task scheduler. It's not a true backup in that you're not compressing data into one large file, but it does the sync'ing and mirroring very well. I'm using it for a client to upload her 1 gig of data to an ftp server, using Hurricane Electric hosting(unix/apache, no CFML) as they offer 5 gigs of storage for $25/mo (www.he.net). Since she doesn't change gigabytes of data each day, after the initial mirroring, each day's change involves only minimal data changes to upload/mirror. For the client to view the ftp backup data, she's not using an ftp program per se but instead using WebDrive, which lets her view any ftp site just like a networked drive in My Computer or Windows Explorer: http://www.southrivertech.com/index.php?pg=./products/webdrive/index (a little pricey at $50/license but it makes the whole off-site backup system very easy for the client). ------------- Regards, Bob Haroche O n P o i n t S o l u t i o n s www.OnPointSolutions.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
