Backup Server

[unnameduser]

Hi there,

I am beginning a new project where I want to set up an online data backup server onto which friends and family can backup their data from remote locations. I was hoping to get some advice here.

To start I want to decide on the client and host software that I am going to use.

To date I have set up Open ssh on Windows 2003 and created a SFTP connection from an XP Machine running SyncBackPro by 2Brightsparks. Everything is working quite well. I have just run this over a LAN to start.

Without getting into the nitty gritty of other aspects such as fixed IP's, UPS, Cooling, Redundancy etc etc I'd like to get some advice back on the software I am using.

Any advice? Is there better software that I could be using?
