I have a few plans for the network at home. I want to get things automated and seemlessly easy to use. Here’s what i have in mind:
- Wireless timemachine – Dedicated Partitioned HDD serving the mini itself on one partition and using the other to serve Macbook wirelessly
- Automated Websites Backup – Mini to backup websites on an alternating bi-weekly basis
- irishmark.net
- oaktree.org.uk
- ajguitars.co.uk
- mediachill.com
- Steve Macbeth
- Ruth’s Blog
- Test Site
- portfolio site
- photography site
- Database backups
- Media Backup – Relevant Drives to auto backup:
- Photos
- Music
- Movies
- Data
- Projects
- Phone Sync – Get automated actions to sync data and info on phone:
- sync files when connected by USB
- sync calender, numbers etc over bluetooth with proximity alert
- Phone Backup – Back up media on phone(not including music)
- add photos to iPhoto on Mini & do not duplicate
- add movies to iMovie on Mini & wipe from phone
- Media Server – Mini to act as a media server for Macbook.
For your phone sync would you consider getting an iPhone? With a .me or gmail account you never need to worry aboout syncs again
Ignoring the fact that i have had 3 Nokia N95 8GB's i have been successful at syncing with the mac – google – nokia. I just dont want to jump on the iPhone bandwagon and i still dont think the phone is as good as my nokia – the camera is vastly better which is a huge consideration!
