Also, not all files get closed to the point where they can be copied every time they're modified. Windows clients are notorious for keeping files open all day long without letting other processes copy them.<br>

The thing with the could side is that I don't want to be the person responsible for running the cloud server, so I'm going to have to work within the cloud provider's framework. The ones I'm looking at right now are Google and <a href="http://1and1.com" target="_blank">1and1.com</a> (which seems to be pretty cheap, about $10/month for 1 terrabyte).<br>

I use rsync+ssh+rsnapshot+cron for a (albeit daily) backup of multiple<br>
VMs in "the cloud" (my cloud) totaling about 1.5TB total to a local<br>
disk, then another rsnapshot to an external disk about every month. It's<br>
fast. rsync is designed to take large amounts of data and sync them<br>
efficiently.<br>
<br>
Is there a requirement for "every hour" (and not something more frequent<br>
like, every time a file changes)? If not, maybe a trigger that whenever<br>
a file changes, it's sync'd... I'm sure multiple avenues are possible<br>
with some simple script-fu (and probably plenty of ready-to-go packages<br>
as well).<br>
