I wish comodo offers iFolder (server + (distributed) backupspace) as an alternative way of doing backups.
iFolder
- professional quality backup solution
- uses secure connection and the serverfiles are encrypted
- you can synchronize several coputers independently of the operating system
- you can share folders with friends
iFolder is now opensource (havent read the disclaimer however).
