Magic Mirror Backup 1.0 beta2

Magic Mirror Backup works by copying the files and folders on your computer to other computers within your office. In exchange, these other computers also copy their own files onto your computer.
This sharing of backups has quite a few advantages not the least of which are that it is extremely convenient and cost effective. (This symbiotic mechanism for backing up data is often called peer to peer backup or p2p backup.)
There is also an optional off-site component so that you can additionally backup to a remote server to protect against office-wide failures like fire, theft, or hurricanes.
Main features:
- It works with your existing hardware requiring no new hardware investment and providing greater value for your existing investment.
- It will work in conjunction with your existing backup strategy. If you make regular backups to external media, thats great. Use Magic Mirror Backup to add daily backup protection to your critical or frequently changing data.
- It is automatic - you do not need to worry about swapping tapes, Zip Disks, or CD-Rs.

Here are some of the commonly requested details on how Magic Mirror Backup works:
- Backups are password protected so that, when a password is specified, others in your office will not be able to read your files (without breaking into your account, which would require a great deal of technical expertise and hacking).
- Backups are only sent to computers you select - your backups will not be sent to computers that you have not authorized.
- You select the files and folders for backup. If you want to limit the size of the backups stored on the computers in your office, you can choose to only backup your "My Documents" and email folders, for instance. If, on the other hand, all the computers have plenty of free space, you can expand the backup to cover less critical files as well.
