[ubuntu-uk] Distributed Backup Proposal

[Jon Spriggs]

I understand what you're saying about needless replication, however, if I
didn't trust Canonical with my data, or weren't permitted to external web
services from my corporate network?

Having a dropbox like service in my corporate network is something the
Windows world doesn't have, and gives us another chance to offer them Free
Software solutions.

Oh, also, the two ideas needn't be progressed in isolation. The UI could
offer a series of back-end systems and a series of synchronization options
(real time, daily, off-peak only, etc.).

Jon,

It a good idea and I agree with you that it wouldn't be about speed. I
suppose what I proposed is more about long-term storage/archiving, not
"I need that file now".
I'm sure replicating dropbox/ubuntu one would be possible with some hard
work, but as we already have Ubuntu One, wouldn't that be needless
replication (though I do appreciate that the server end isn't open
source!)
