Offsite backups-What program?

[Guest Bill-Hayward]

I would like to do offsite backups for my small non-profit, about 25

employees. I already do backups to tape, and would like this to be an

additional backup.

 

I would like to buy a PC with a large hard drive, set it up at home, with a

DSL connection and use it as a backup, across the internet.

 

Are there programs available that would allow me to backup our computers,

across the internet to our computer, at another location? I think it would be

great if it worked like a normal backup program, I can set the time for it to

start, and repeat regularly, and backup to a remote location.

 

I know that you can get this service for a monthly fee, to backup to their

computers. I want to do it to mine/ours.

 

Does anyone know of programs that will do this?

 

thank you,

Bill

I use something called "Second Copy" to supplement my "real"

backup utility.

 

Second Copy has some sort of FTP option built into it - but I'm

too clueless about peer-to-peer internet stuff to tell if it's

real-world usable.

 

Might be worth a download of the trial version and a little

reading.
