Re: Somewhat OT: Large backups

[Bruno Prior <bruno@xxxxxxx>]

Ian,

Interesting idea. What do you use for this? rsync? I had a similar plan
in mind, to use rsync and/or XDelta to backup to our server at work, and
maybe vice/versa (which would provide a nice excuse for work to pay for
some of the storage and bandwidth ;-).

Are you backing up a lot of data to each other's machines? If some of 
your group are the 100s Gb people, the bandwidth or download times for 
that must have been phenomenal. Are you all on broadband? Or did you get
together for the initial data swap, so only new files have to be 
transferred remotely? And don't you all need phenomenally large amounts
of storage if you are all backing up each other's media collections?

Cheers,

Bruno
