There is an idea to unite groups of several (at least 3) people (who have unlimited tariff) to implement an automatic backup system... Because one at a time is either expensive or unreliable: There are no free FTP with the ability to create a personal account on the Internet. Uploading backups to email is also not very reliable. The server can then it will be deployed, or be unavailable, or something else. And in terms of time - attachments are transmitted 30% longer than via FTP. (this is the peculiarity of the differences between postal and FTP protocols). Keep backups at home (including even on blanks) - not reliable. According to my plan, all participants set up an FTP server and calmly upload backups for each other. The entire process is automated. There are special programs (IMHO the best is ApBackUp - www.avpsoft.ru), for the first day a full archive is created (for example, for me it’s about 7mb), and in subsequent days - only changed files are archived, because On average the traffic is not very large. Of course, the participants’ computers must work around the clock.

Why the tariff? You record an archive on discs and store it somewhere in a different room. This is in case the storage area burns down, will explode, drown, etc. More frequent backup is also implied to local storage.

Hello Kirill! 22 Dec 04 00:39, Kirill Frolov -> Eugene Palenock: EP>> Free FTP with the ability to create a personal account EP>> no internet. KF> Yes, but no one will give SO much space (units GB) for free. I don’t need 1GB, about 50MB is enough for me. Are there any such people? I didn’t find it on Yandex, everyone just asks there themselves ;( KF> Relevant if you have a local network with free traffic. Now in Moscow, almost everyone who is more or less seriously sitting on the Internet - it is there. $20/month - unlimited... Best regards, Evgeniy.

I know that 1GB of traffic for the end user can cost up to $100, and is sold by some telecom for only a few times (not even ten times) less amount.
