Re: [Digital BW] OT: Remote Backup

2010-02-05 by Richard Sintchak

Ah, I guess that's one benefit, retrieving files from anywhere, but if it's
backed up files I generally like to leave a "pure" back up as it is or it
startes getting confusing fast as t owhat is a backup and what is a modified
file and such.  There's a number of very cheap ways to set up remotely and
securely accessing your own home computer these days.
