Well this could be posted in Storage, or in software, but I figure here will give me the best feedback since it is technically dealing with networking and security....
Anyhow I am looking for a good data backup software package (client/server based) that will allow me some flexibility in regards to automatically backing up mobile units (ie laptops).
Due to their mobile nature a time schedule based backup is not going to work, but I only want them attempting backing up while connected to the LAN.
IE: Client detects connection to server and is assigned an IP address in X range (Y range is distributed on another DHCP server since it assigned IP's for VPN connections, and I want the IP to indicate local or VPN connection). If those conditions are met it will initiate backup. OR if IP in Y range and idle for 90 minute attempt backup (so if someone leaves a laptop on the VPN all night from home it will still backup).
Any ideas?
