Mirror network drive over Internet

[jarrett]

Hi

This is the situation, I want to map and mirror a Netgear Stora
network drive from a office to a home server that has XP 64-Bit installed on it.
Is it possible to do this without there being a server/computer at the office
side, so basically the server at home connects straight to the network drive in
the office without the need of a intermediary device. Well I know it still has
to go through the router obviously at the office side but I just want it to be
able to copy the data off the network drive without the need of a online
computer in the office. I've been looking into using a VPN to set this up but
this apparently still needs a server to connect to at the other end before it
can connect to the network drive.

So is it possible for me to do this
without the need of the server at the office end and if it is what 3rd party
software would be able to do this or is there some manual set up needed?


If anyone can shed any light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

if you're running win xp or later, you can setup a vpn sever via control panel's network connections. click create new connection and options to setup vpn server.

But even if I did create that VPN could it connect to and mirror the network drive over the internet without a server at the other end?

i would think so. the hard drive would have to be accesible to the network though. i would look to setup a folder sync app at home. robocopy, synctoy, or the like.

folder replication software may provide a more real-time transfer.
