I am looking to set up a server to back up all my files from about 4 machines + phones. Can you recommend some systems for me to look at? Is it better to buy one or set up one my self?

What software do I have to run? I am thinking of running something like crashplan for the backup. Any suggestions are appreciated.

EDIT: I already have a linux server I run.

Thanks,

-P

  • What software does your machines run? Windows? (I'm guessing so). I'm a Linux fanboy, and for this, would setup a box and run nightly rsyncs. If you're not familiar with Linux, then you should look into rsync for Windows.

Perhaps you can consider rsync. It's cross platform, lightweight, and flexible. You can tweak it to get a dropbox like backup, and if you are transferring huge files, you can configure rsynch to use a preset bandwidth to save your self some capacity to do other things.
