The Underscore Archives

An approach that works for me is the use of internet mirrors. A main
file store at my home keeps the mirror I have in a mates house in
worthing and my server in london updated with changes to the data with
rsync. I return the favour by hosting a mirror for him.

My using a webserver such as apache I can make my files accessible
over the internet.

To set something like this up a fairly basic knowledge of networks is
needed. Although I use linux all the tools are all available on
windows.

Using low power machines you can create silent computers that consume
little power. Stick it on a mates broadband connection and hey presto.
