With some minor tweaks I've managed to get Dirvish to do fully automated, opportunistic backups of the family's computers (laptops etc.) that come and go from my home network, and then I grant access to the backup snapshots using an SSL+password-protected, publicly visible HTTP server. This gives us both backups and access to all our files, all the time, from anywhere.<br>
<br>
I've also worked on auto-extracting and sorting media (mp3s etc) from the backups (using hard-links to save space, like Dirvish), allowing me to build a central media library without any manual work: just copy files to my laptop, let them sit for a backup cycle or two and then delete them. :-)<br>
