Well, creating points which go 'INTO' your server is probably not a really good strategy.
However, one could do it the other way with ssh keys (i.e. no login), 'from' the server. I've thought about this before... one solution... server has a webpage which allows the XO to see and logon, and user clicks 'back me up now'. The webpage detects the IP of the XO, writes it to a special file of 'XO laptops to backup'. A server cron job, checks for this file, and grabs a IP from the list, initiates a ssh request 'into' the XO laptop using previously shared keys, 'grabs' the needed files, then closes the connection. I think that this would be safer scenario, than having a bunch of random XO's connecting 'INTO' a server. *shrug* -ixo On Mon, Jan 28, 2008 at 3:05 AM, Luke Gorrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > On Jan 22, 2008, at 10:28 PM, Bryan Berry wrote: > >> We really need the incremental backup feature.
