  1. Re:SneakerNet * on Clustering vs. Fault-Tolerant Servers · · Score: 1

    Perhaps something called OLRAS (olras-archives.com)
    A file synchronization system to synchronize user-data
    with a server (therefore requires a server). The system supports
    workgroups as files shared by members are distributed
    to all members as they connect. The server is necessary
    because otherwise, all members of a workgroup would need
    to be connected at the same time to synchronize the workgroup files.

    Targeted to very small companies, specially useful
    for laptop users whom may or may not be connected to
    the network at all times. The server is used to backup private data
    and also as a repository of data for users who are not presently
    connected: as they connect, their PC gets updated.

          - uses SSH: VPN not required
          - incorporates a private Web space for company-wide documents
          - incorporates WebDAV, for sharing files when file sharing by
                synchronization will not do.
          - Supports archiving of files, previous versions of files may
                be retrieved by the user without IT personnel involvement.
