Thoughts on BitTorrent Sync
Since it's had a little time to mature, do any of you use BT Sync on your boxes? I'm still pretty weary of it considering multiple things, like it A) not being open source and [and, put on your tin hats for this one] some government agency collecting/analyzing the traffic (assuming they are able to break the encryption or with the help of back doors). I realize other data replication solutions are also susceptible to decryption but there's pretty much a 0% chance of a back door if whatever you are using is open source.
Only reason I bring this up is because on the BT blog, there are a few interesting articles on using Sync for server-related projects (they call them Sync Hacks). There super interesting but I'm just really not liking the closed source stuff.

then maybe you can try ownCloud, seafile, sparkleshare and so on...

Also you can use open source encryption on your files...

Oh, I'm aware of all the syncing related software but I was just curious if anyone here has had experience using Sync for server <-> server. The folks over in the Reddit thread were more discussing syncing personal files vs. server <-> server sync. I guess I wanted to see how it compared to something like GlusterFS.
I think all these software can be used on server as well, one is server, another is client?
One thing to keep in mind is the fact file permissions are not preserved... so the user running the daemon will take ownership of everything that is sync'd. I believe GlusterFS is meant to truly synchronize two file systems together rather than only the files, independently of the file system. BTsync is wonderful if you want to sync mobile devices, but it's not meant to sync two servers, and definitely not in the case you want to build an high availability cluster. As a backup system, it would work no problem tho!
