Abstract

Most of the Small Business Company (SME), Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) do have one common major problem, how to have a good backup system. While there are many technologies that offer to the solution, but users finds too complicated or sometime too costly to implement. This paper proposed the solution for saving important information by having a WDFS drive or directory in the machine, which supports drag and drop files. WDFS drive or directory automatically backup information by distributing and duplicating the same file onto the other machine inside the domain. The process is transparency to users.
