Backup WHS to a Friends Computer

The Home Server Show website has just published an article on using a social cloud backup called CrashPlan to backup your Windows Home Server.

The free version of CrashPlan will automatically backup your machine daily to multiple destinations e.g. a friends computer in the US and another in the UK. For a low fee you can also have unlimited backup to the CrashPlan servers.

Your backups are compressed to conserve bandwidth and are also encrypted with a private key.

In the first part of this article CrashPlan is explained in depth, whilst part 2 will describe how to install and set it up.

Part 1 can be read here.
