Mirra, Mirra, on the wall…

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 28-Nov-2004

Just to be clear, the Mirra personal server is over-priced, but it’s a really cool solution, and really takes the work out of backups, as well as throwing in some slick extra features!

Basically, the Mirra is a small network-attached storage device which provides continuous, hands-free backup to multiple PC’s simultaneously. You run a client app on each PC, and every time you modify and save a file, it gets backed up over the network. In fact, you don’t just get backups of your files, you get version management, where older versions of your files are kept around too.

The thing that sets mirra apart is that on top of automatic backups of your files, (photos, documents, music, whatever) you get a secure web-server interface for both private access (enabling you to get to your files from anywhere you have web access) and sharing those files with family and friends. And hey, no monthly fees for file storage might just make the $400 for 80 (or $500 for 120, or $750 for 250) GB worth the cost if you’re paying for file-hosting.

About Huddled Masses

This is web site is dedicated to the musings of Joel Bennett (aka Jaykul) about technology, software, software development, the web, and the world.

Any resemblance of the views expressed and the views of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. The resemblance between them and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader.

P.S.: I occasionally link to things I think are great. When I do, I occasionally find a "referral code" so I can make a little cash. I promise that I don't link to anything just because of that cash (I wouldn't cross the street for the amount of cash those links bring in, never mind write a whole blog post) ... but I do not promise that things I link to will stay great as time passes, nor that you will agree with me about their greatness!
