  1. Hi, I'd like to start backing up my files (roughly 1TB) linking to my dad's home, who lives next town to me. I have 2 3TB usb empty drivesWe both have a *not exciting* 10Mbit down / 1Mbit up ADSL connection, enough for incremental back-up, not enough to transfer 1TBI am on OS XMy dad has both a windows and linux computerI am thinking to do something like this: manually sync MYDOCS_FOLDER on the two 3TB drives (3TB_SOURCE / 3TB_CLONE)On my side: add folder MYDOCS_FOLDER (on 3TB_SOURCE) to bittorrent syncgive him 3TB_CLONE using the incredible bandwidth of my Ford Fiestagive him the Secretmake him install BT Sync and choose the same MYDOCS_FOLDER as targetQuestions: Will it work?How can I solve the filesystem issue? How should I format the drives to overcome the OS difference?Thanks a lot for your ideas and comments! Paolo
