Not really what I want, but kind of.

I want an way to have two (or more) backup server that are in sync =20
(sort of). The client can use the local backup store located on the =20
company LAN when they are on the company LAN. Also I want the ability =20=

to choose another secondary backup store that is available from the =20
Internet when they are travelling or otherwise not on the company LAN.

See http://waza.se/crap/natdiagram.jpg for a "better" description, =20
I'm sorry that the names are in Swedish. "Fj=E4rr" =3D Remote or =20
secondary. "Lokal" =3D Local, "Klient" =3D Client.

And yes, Internets is a pun at GWB. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/=20
Internets_%28colloquialism%29


Thanks,
- Simon
