I have plenty of space, and I have the CPU and bandwidth to do it, as
well as the public torrent trackers to host it if necessary. Where is
this Wikix tool?
It's probably better to use rsync, that's what we usually use for image
backups. It's quite robust, and efficient if used properly. The only
trouble with it is the server load -- it would quickly overload the
backend if we made it available for public use. Maybe we could set up an
rsyncd instance limited by client IP.
