Here's the scoop:
I am a Web developer, but my boss wants me to work to build a server of the office that will serve as backup for PC and Mac desktop. We need to back up large video files and be able to access video files, if necessary. One computer is a Mac, which will be at a distance (out of the office) and have to connect via the Internet. Being a Web developer, I have no idea where to start and would appreciate any assistance in this area.
Could you also make recommendations on a machine, software, accessories, and schedule that I could go back to my boss?
Thank you for your time.
