No offense to any TidBITS reader, but that’s really beyond the scope of the publication. Since we’re talking about “rolling your own”, what about really doing it by hand? I would assume FindMyMac must allow doing this some way or another… Any easy way to exploit FindMyMac so that you could use some kind of generic hostname that would automatically get forwarded to the current IP of your remote Mac? Something like the_name_I_gave_my_Mac.some_generic_Apple_Īnd assuming that’s not possible, what about exploiting FindMyMac to at least get the current IP of that remote Mac? There used to to be the free OpenDNS with its DNS forwarding daemon, but of course that went all commercial so there’s no more free option there. If we assume this box has a fixed IP it’s easy. Is there anything special you’d need to consider if you’d decide to just use rsync to do your own “networked version” of TimeMachine?
Since we’re talking about “rolling your own”, what about really doing it by hand? What about a situation where you have off-site ssh access to some box with lots of storage and halfway decent bandwaidth.
