| Feb 6, 2013 at 21:07 | comment | added | random Mod | There are two off topic questions. Which should the edit be made in favour of when they both do not fit? @geo | |
| Feb 6, 2013 at 20:01 | comment | added | George Katsanos | so edit his question instead of closing it.ffs. | |
| Jan 23, 2013 at 8:53 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | I can run my own FTP and Rsync servers. I can even, in theory use either (though FTP in this case is stupid) for local file transfers. You're asking a question that demands a list of answers. "How would I keep data I have on the cloud secure" might be a better compromise I guess, since it would involve things you proactively do | |
| Jan 23, 2013 at 6:29 | comment | added | TFM | @ScottChamberlain: The site rules are not static. In the past, it may have been possible to ask questions that, according to the current rules, have become off-topic. They are usually closed gradually when they are detected. I, myself, asked a software recommendation question a couple of years ago, which got closed after a year or so because of the updated rules. | |
| Jan 23, 2013 at 6:14 | comment | added | random Mod | FTP is not a webservice, but a way to transfer over a network. But if you find any that ask to compare and contrast, point them out. Same with rsync | |
| Jan 23, 2013 at 6:12 | comment | added | Scott Chamberlain | So should the 725 questions about FTP be closed too, what about the 369 questions tagged rsync? Both of those are web services too. | |
| Jan 23, 2013 at 6:07 | comment | added | random Mod | Online backup is a webservice. And it's a shopping question. | |
| Jan 23, 2013 at 6:04 | comment | added | Scott Chamberlain | Can you quote where in the FAQ it states that a online backup provider is not allowed, the closest thing I saw was "websites or web services like Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress", however all three examples listed are services that are only accessible through a web browser and have no local presence on your machine. Where as every single backup solution I can think of must have some form of agent running on your machine. | |
