June 8, 201016 yr For that you can use Rsync instead. http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/ You can run the service (daemon) in unRAID and a client on each computer you want to backup.
June 8, 201016 yr You can do rsync over ssh. Then using tcpwrapper /etc/hosts.allow lock down which host is even able to connect to your ssh port. you could probably do this with the rsync server port and inetd.conf along with tcpwrapper. In addition you could have a password on the rsync server. root@Atlas ~ #grep rsync /etc/inetd.conf rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/rsync --daemon set in /etc/hosts.deny rsync: ALL: ALL and in /etc/hosts.allow add lines for the hosts you want to allow. SSH is probably the safest way to go if you set up the fw rules and tcp wrapper rules correctly as the traffic will be encrypted.
