Backup local PC's to server account ?

[oldlock]

In addition to their standard web hosting I have a client asking whether they can automate the backups of files on their local pc's to their webserver (for data security). Does anyone have input into the best ways this could be done ?

TIA

The docs should be helpful here I think:

Connecting to Web Disk using Third-Party Software - cPanel Documentation

Depending on the users operating system, Backup tools might already exist. For example Windows 7 Pro. You could use those backup automation tools configured to the Networked drive on their account with you.

I have created webdisk and added network shares for them on the clients pc's (running WIN7 pro) but when trying to setup automated backups the network share cannot be selected. The webdisk is connected via SSL so digest is not enabled.

Any insights would be appreciated.

NB - I can setup and connect with bitkinex, but I see no way to setup an automated backup process with it ????
