Anyone use a server to backup their HDD? - GoFuckYourself.com

I have thought about doing this for a while, and I seem to recall that there used to be a service to do this with.

If you do it, is there an easy way to set this up?

yes I do ........ with other back-up's as well

find some ftp software that creates a drive letter for the connection then you can use any imaging software to create a image of your hd at nite while you are away and ftp it to a server

A company I used to work for had a partnership with xdrive. I found that I never bothered, especially with the quantity of data that I manage.

Yeah, I think x drive was who I was thinking about . . . I seem to recall setting up an account, but I don't remember what I did with it

Not sure if this is what you mean but:

I have one server in the office that backs up all local office machines and all remote servers through FTP.
Ive tried numerous programs and scripts but specially over FTP connections and large files its not very reliable.

Ive found http://www.handybackup.net to be very reliable. You can backup local machines, remote machines, to remote machines and write it to any media
(best is if you have 2 HD's in the backup server and duplicate those at the end of the daily backup batches).

That looks like it would do it.
