Windows and Mac Backup Software We would like to have some backup software created, which needs to run on Mac OS X and also Windows. The backup software needs to upload to a server at our end, so this is probably a combination of client software and a server daemon. - Transfer only new files and only the changed bytes of new/changed files - be able to be interrupted and restart with no intervention - Run in the background - recognise how many files to backup, how many remaining, plus amount of Mb/Gb remaining - encrypt the data using email and password "account" information - optionally encrypt using another secret passphrase Please look at [login to view URL] for a comparable product. This is what we're looking to achieve. We do have some experience of this type of software ourselves, but we're looking for a ground-up re-write. Look forward to hearing from you. I suspect to get this right there will be a lot of questions and answers, so please ask. Also - please please just just stick a bid in without anything to give me an idea of who you are and to help me with the process of choosing. Just saying this as in the past people have wasted their own time as well as mine in just sending a price - I WILL NOT pick based on price but on quality of work and if I feel the provider will do a good job All the best Ade

Dear All Unfortunately we have decided to cancel this bid request for the backup software. Due to some increased requirements for an existing project, I personally will not have the time or resources to manage this project at this stage. It is still something we want to do, however we have had to make a decision to pause it for now until we have more time. I apologize to those of you who spent time working on your bids and hope that you can accept this apology. May we wish you all the very best and hope to work with you on another project Best regards Ade
