[IT People] Cloud backups

[Zlex]

So I want to automatically backup a few files to some webspace that I have. Can anyone recommend me some software that will automatically upload some files?

 

[cogzinofa]

rsync

dropbox

eatmy.backup

 

[vawlk]

CrashBurn

fucking awesome.

i think vawlk means crashplan, which is really good

but if you only need to backup a few files, dropbox is great, and free

When you lose internet you can play Solitaire. I plan to make a cloud-based Solitaire that will only be played when the cloud crashes aka zero cost to run business.

???

profit.

you can even make a batch file with code like this:

xcopy  "E:\Important Stuff I Want To Backup" "C:\Users\Penisface\My Dropbox\Important Stuff I want to Backup" /e /h /k /y /d

and set it as a scheduled task. then you can automatically backup files you can't store in the dropbox all the time.

that code will copy a recursive directory over, and then each time its run, only add new/updated files

your webspace isn't the cloud it's a webspace

Windows has a command line FTP program.


Just create a batch file

ftp
open <your web server>
copy files
close
quit



OR

robocopy

lol yes, crashplan.

CrashBurn wouldn't be a very good name for a backup service.
