I don't want to sound like a lamer but can't this basically be done with ssh and rsync? I've been storing and fetching files from my home cubox with a setup like this. While I'm away from home I use a usb-stick with a custom dev envrionment all set up. Then just backup and fetch files from there as needed. Something like this gets the job done: rsync -avze ssh ~/my/backupfile user@(home ip address):~/backup/location Probably a bit weird to understand but this is just one example command for backing up a local file (there are more advanced options too).

It probably can, but the BitTorrent Sync use case is likely trying to cover a lot more. For example, making it easy to sync across internet, across NATs, across operating systems. Yes, with some thought, all that is possible with SSH and rsync as well but it's a PITA to maintain and not very mom-friendly. BitTorrent Sync would allow me to sync computers across the world and also share folders with family members.
