The coming year will require from me a good bit of travelling. I will be taking with me my notebook, to continue making a living by doing web development projects, however, I'd like to keep my desktop PC in sync (which will remain always-on while I'm away). Right now I have my desktop computer make nightly backups at 2AM to three seperate hard drives, and I'd like to continue this. Lastly, if possible, I would like to keep the databases in sync as well (which are around 15MB currently). What options do I have? Can I set up a remote CVS deal? The only requirement I have is that security be good, because my desktop connection will be wide-open on whatever port I use (presumably 2401). I'm running Win XP on my desktop computer and OS X on my notebook, although I can have Win XP running on both machines if needed. I will have internet access throughout. Thanks!
Assumption:your desktop machine is a Unix machine, otherwise you will want to check the CVSNT website and mailing lists for clarifications on the info below.
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/index.php?title=CVS_FAQ#Windows_NT_.2F_2000_.2F_XP.3F Suggestions: 1) read about the security of CVS, i.e.,search this mailing list ( http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs ) for info about how insecure pserver (port 2401) is.
and the FAQ http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/index.php?title=CVS_FAQ#Is_CVS_secure.3F 2) read about using ssh to secure your connections: http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_2.html#IDX70 http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/index.php?title=CVS_FAQ#How_do_I_access_a_CVS_repository_using_SSH.3F http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/index.php?title=CVS_FAQ#How_do_I_set_up_a_CVS_server_for_access_via_SSH.3F 3) read about other methods of securing the connection http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/index.php?title=CVS_FAQ#how_to_link_client_and_server_through_GSSAPI4) for the databases (I assume postgresql/MSSQL/Access) you will have to read their documentation for methods to create backups/version control. I have had postgresql dump to text files that I put under CVS in the past, i.e.,
