- regestration could be done from mac addresses in dhcpd-leases 
- up could be tested in broadcast ping

I could make some shell script to test this.

design issues would be:
- push/pull model
- encryption of the channel ssl/scp/rsync
- encryption of backup
- versioning (svn?)


I could make some shell script to test this.

models use now:

ssh user at remote 'tar -czf - /home/user |' user_timestamp.tgz  

or
make small script like
#/bin/sh
tar -czf /tmp/user_timestamp.tgz /home/user
gpg -e /tmp/user_timestamp.tgz
scp /tmp/user_timestamp.tgz.gpg backup at server:/storage/
sleep 600

just 2ct


I have 0 XO's so can use some info..
Do they have:
ssh
sshd
rsync
gpg
tar

other idea would be the server XS to ask the user via jabber....

(3rd cent :)

Is there somewhere a grid to test?
