ok, as some of you requested more detailed info ("why do you want to do this?") I will give more info, maybe you know of better approaches.
I want to be able to nightly synchronise files that are on our lan with a remote machine that is on the other side of europe. Both machines have very decent internet connections.
So basically this would function just like a normal backup, only not to tape, but to a remote network location. (harddisk, whatever)
I wrote emails to various backup software supliers to ask if their product could backup to a remote location, an sftp site, for example. I would like the remote site to be as basic as possible. sftp (mechanism that winscp3 uses) or ftp. (less secure)
They all say that their product cannot do something like that. So I started making up my own scenarious...
Anyway, I've read all of your suggestions. Now you know this, do you have any other suggestions how to solve this issue?
(btw: i completely 'own' the remote machine, I can do whatever I want on it)
Thanks very much fort helping so far!
