Hey guys, I'm thinking of a new project and could do with a little advice.

I already have a Windows Home Server box taking backups and doing media storage in my house, however for a new project I was thinking about creating an off-site backup solution in case anything happened. I want to be able to put another server at my parents house and have an incremental backup occurring between the two servers. Hardware wise I was thinking a microserver but I need some help with the software side of things?

How would you do it? Linux, Windows? Would I need to set up a VPN between the two houses? This is all a project that is just an idea at the moment and I wanted to know how feasible it really is.

Thanks!
 
That's kind of my reasoning. I would like to be able to do a backup of my parents machines as well over to my servers so with both end up with an onsite and off site backup solution.

I was thinking of using the microserver as they have the cashback deals running at the moment and I have all the extra hardware needed like 4x 1TB drives knocking around doing nothing. As this would be going at my parents neatness, space and reliability would always be a factor.
