This means such a solution must have some show-off webpage page. And the GUI must be really easy to grasp.<br /><br />2/ Crashplan's offer (http://www.crashplan.com/business/) does have a local backup P2P configuration, the cloud-like backup is put forward but is not compulsory.<br /><br />3/ Convincing people to donate HD space is hard - my colleague is complaining just now that his new 200GB extension is too small. <br /><br />BestIgorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925802156200930293noreply@blogger.com
