Dropbox, does what you want. At a few sites I look after, they have a very small infrastructure with a user at each working from home and office and wanting several gig of docs/pics available in realtime at both, sigh...
I redirected the personal/pics/favs etc into a Dropbox folder. While she is at work it happily updates and versions, and by the time she gets home its always done and ready for her to continue working. Just for safety sake, I nightly rsync this from her work pc to their single Linux server and version. Been running well for a while. jlc -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 2:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Online backup downselect Hi all, Looking at online backup solutions for a couple of very small offices. New product field for me. I've been reading docs and specs and stuff, and come to the conclusion that they all work for the basics. So, anyone here used *more than one* and care to comment on strengths of one vs another? Or anyone have any "never do this" stories they'd like to share? Note: Comments of the form "I've used X and liked it." are not especially helpful, since I've already determined that lots of people are happy. :) I'm looking for "I've used X and Y and like X better because..." or "I've used X and had trouble with...". Requirements are simple: Win XP, Vista, and/or 7; one to three PCs; no servers; consumer Internet connection; backing up a few gigabytes of files total (tops); fairly little change on a daily basis; no special software (just Office and QuickBooks); restores within a day or two is fine. Versioning of changes is wanted but it looks like they all do that. advTHANKSance -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
