RobDLondon Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 something that I would find very useful, so useful that I would be prepared to pay for (now there's true love!).A sync on my synology work area, that would sync to a buddy's synology server, and of course to my laptop.I can pretty much rely on at least one of them being online & working at a time, and then if one of them was offline at any time, they can sort it out later when they come back online again.This could be a very useful protection against fire, burglary etc etc.A cherry on the cake would be sneaker-sync option...when I start this approach I probably will have a big set of data to get started with, so rather than wait several weeks incurring the ire of my ISP, I might just plug in a portable drive, and "sneaker sync", then pop it in the post.When Bill Burglar comes to call, and pinches my NAS box, it will happen the other way around, I will buy a new NAS box, and while I am waiting for the NAS to arrive, mail the portable drive to my buddy, who will then post it back to me with the data.I wonder how many other people might find this handy.and......I suspect if I get clever there are some apps that might do this for me now, but make and it simple and reliable, and I will be grateful.... my laptop is no use for Sneaker-sync, as I have gone over to SSD, so I can't move several TB at a time!

Guest oddbit Posted February 8, 2013 Report Posted February 8, 2013 This would be an AWESOME way to keep your data backed up.... it would be sweet if it did versioning. I like that bittorrent uses checksums, which should guarantee perfect backups. I imagine you could also keep a notbook and desktop in sync.OP I can see sneaker net being a good way to initially seed things. Quote
