Back up large amounts of data over the internet
    #13968876 - 02/15/11 05:01 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I am looking for a better data backup solution.

Right now I have an external harddrive that I keep at work for a backup.  I keep it there in case of fire or theft, but to update it I physically bring it home every month or so and sync it to my files at home.  So I have up to a month of lag with what gets backed up, and I have one day a month where all my data is at one location, and I have a chore to remember to do.

I wonder if I could sync the data on these disks over the internet?  Though its a lot of data Im backing up (~500 GB) I only need to update about 5 GB a month.  I should be able to do this over the net, but Im not sure how.  Any ideas?

rsync over ssh or a vpn should do it.

So if I use vpn, I should be able to map a network drive and then sync my files however I like?

I have been trying to set up VPN for a while here, and dont know what to do next.  Any idea of a forum I can go to for specific help?

Install cygwin and use rsync over ssh, perhaps run via cron.  Set up an unpassworded ssh key for authentication.
