Hi, Bob... Now, I LIKE SyncBack!
I already had WebDrive installed as an evaluation and it, combined with SyncBack is running perfectly! And only $15, too. If I could just get a WebDrive-type solution for around $25, I have a better "Setup" charge...of course, I'll have to setup everything for my clients, so the setup charge will usually more than cover $65, but I'd like to keep the setup charge as low as possible for small clients...but even at $65 for SyncBack and WebDrive, this a really good solution...I really didn't want "backup software" that lumped everything into a proprietary format...I want to be able to see my files in a directory structure like in WebDrive...

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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:194114 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
