Hi Tim

As a plan B I am a big fan of crashplan. I pay to use their cloud backup
wi=
th unlimited costing $60 / year but the software is very good and free to
u=
se. My inlaws backup their machines to my Unraid based NAS at no cost -
how=
nice am I?

Worth a look. No other connection than a happy customer.
