<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==About Remote Drive==<br />
<br />
XMission's Remote Drive service allows subscribers to backup data to a reliable disk array in our data center. In addition, this array is continuously backed up to an secondary physical location. Customers have the choice among several different protocols for transferring their data. Popular protocols SCP, SFTP, FTP, SAMBA and Rsync are all available. <br />
<br />
Remote Drive is an add-on service which customers may purchase separately from their primary account. It includes a base quota and additional quota units may be purchased which allow the user to store more data. There is no limit on the amount of data a user may move to and from Remote Drive in a single month but bandwidth limits on the client side of the connection may still apply. <br />
<br />
==Storage Location==<br />
<br />
Remote Drive is accessible via regular services via shell.xmission.com, ftp.xmission.com, and samba.xmission.com. A soft link in a subscriber's home directory named ''backup'' points to the area where remote drive storage is located. This can also be accessed directly via ''/backup/users/(first-letter)/user'', example ''/backup/users/a/alincoln''.<br />
<br />
==Connection==<br />
<br />
Your XMission account and password are utilized for all of these transactions. Formerly the Remote Drive service used a separate account and password for rd.xmission.com. This is being phased out.<br />
<br />
'''In all examples below, substitute ''user'' with your XMission account name.'''<br />
<br />
===Linux===<br />
<br />
SCP: <pre>scp ''myfile'' ''user''@shell.xmission.com:backup</pre><br />

<br />
FTP: <pre>ftp ftp.xmission.com<br />
