Lots of pictures — 2-300 per day- maybe some text files with short notes etc. You have a camera with Eye-Fi, a PC, and a phone with WiFi and 3G. Files ends up on the PC (mobile storage), phone providesInternet connectivity. Now, if you wanted to upload all files pretty much as you go — given spotty access to Internet over G3 and WiFi — what would be the best way to do that automatically; set-it-and-forget-it style? I would like them to end up on my own server
rsync script?
ownCloud?
Some BitTorrent setup?
Other?
Which one would be the most robust solution? I'm thinking of interrupted file transfers due to no network, re-starts etc. And I would not want to loose any files; including scenarios where files gets deleted locally but that should not result in files getting automatically deleted on the server as well. Sure; I could perhaps use something like Dropbox but that would take the fun out of it :-)."
