The majority of my family, including myself, uses Dropbox and Syncplicity free accounts for our syncing needs. However our backup strategy is pretty non-existent, we all have access (via webDav) to our qnap nas located at home, however we copy files accross when we can remember to do so, terrible I know.

Is there tools like CrashPlan or Spideroak that allows each the accomodation of each family members syncing and back-up needs under one main account? I'm not sure how this would work, as each family member would need a seperate sub-account or would I manage each computer's syncing and backup lists from a single account? Any thoughts?

Have you looked into microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/windowshomeserver/… Wakes every machine and backs it up as needed; very functional. – Aaron Mar 21 '11 at 19:31

If your data is small enough, why not just use DropBox for backup? It syncs in real time, and all the information is stored online.

data will be around 10GB per user. I've been reading about GoodSync and it looks like a suitable program for syncing and backing up over various mediums (including webdav ssl). – marlon brando Mar 21 '11 at 21:46
