http://www.crashplan.com/ Free peer to peer, supports every OS, rubs as a daemon, and the unlimited off site is super cheap (if you want to use it). I've been using it for a couple years and have no problems at all with it. -Mike On May 14, 2013, at 12:15 PM, "stevensspam@cox.net" wrote: Hello everyone, I've found myself looking at the issue of backups again. Currently I have an network drive which my sister and I will manually copy files over to. While this is better than nothing it's clearly not an ideal setup. I've googled backup software and there appears to be a very large selection so I thought I'd ask if anyone in PLUG has suggestions. To put what I'm looking for in bullet points: * Ideally supports backup up both Linux and Windows * Will work with laptops that may not always be on or able to reach the home network (I don't currently have a VPN set up for my home network -- but that's a project for another day) * Has a straightforward means of copying the backups somewhere offsite (currently thinking of taking an external drive over to our parent's place whenever we visit, but also considering something like Amazon Glacier) --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
