Online Backup Software


Question

Hi Guys,

Cut a long story short ive got a few PC's i look after which are on a peer-to-peer network (so no server or file server).

I am wondering if there is an easy way to have them backing up online to a data storage place that all my clients can backup to for ease of access?

Here's an example of what i mean, hopefully someone will know what im trying to get at :p

I have one single login for an online storage site. Once logged in i can create storage folders, my idea is to have a folder for each client.

Then on the clients machine install the backup / storage software and sign into the software with my login details, then point to which folder i want their files backed up to.

Client A would have a folder called Client A, Client B would be Client B, etc etc.

Can anyone suggest any good companies that would offer this? Free or Paid for i don't mind. Free would be awesome though :p

We arnt talking loads of data here, probably 5gb MAX for each client. Its just documents.

Thanks!

For something like documents, why not just get your clients to backup their work on Google Documents of Microsoft's SkyDrive? SkyDrive offers 25GB per account for free, if I remember correctly. The only problem would be that it wouldn't automatically sync, although there may be a tool out there that would allow you to do such a thing.

SkyDrive, ive not looked into that at all. Sounds very good for that much storage tbh. I would just need a program that would sync the various document folders on the machine to the SkyDrive, Ill have a dig around and see what i can find :)

Any other suggests are welcome though.

SkyDrive looks great for the majority of my clients but a few have larger documents and pdf's than 50MB, which is SkyDrives file size limit.

Any other recommendations? :)

I use Livedrive for this kind of thing, I have a reseller account if you want to try it out I can give you an account for a month or so to try out and see if its suitable.

Its not free but it works well.
