Ha! Good news: while looking for a USB thumb with enough space to easily 'transport' important files from rescueCD-booted Nikola to Dennis, I found one which actually had (in a directory called 'rescue') my most important notes about setting up a connection to Hal (with SSH and sshfs). The notes and code snippets, together with the thread discussing some ideas should be enough to set up a connection from Dennis to Hal - and after that allow SpiderOakONE to make a backup of the backups on Hal. Once that's done, combine that with (manually started) Titanium Backup on the phone, followed by btsync on phone and Hal to 1) put Titanium's backup on Hal as well and 2) keep the KeePass database in sync across machines, too. That should cover most bases. I think. :) That's enough progress for today, I'll start executing this (and keeping new notes!) #tomorrow. Feeling #happy and #relieved that I have more important notes than I thought!
