Appliance for automatic backup and file sharing

This paper describes a server appliance for non-it small business companies that will simplify the backup and file sharing operations.

The appliance should be build on a VIA Mini-ITX motherboard in a small case like the one from the following picture











(Morex Venus 669 Case)

The case should contain 2 HDD in RAID-1 (with mirror) for data protection
The HDD should be in easy changeable enclosures with fans and LCD for displaying temperature and other parameters, like the appliance from the next picture:

The operating system should be Linux based, well hidden behind a browser based user interface
The appliance should be integrated with the producer public website.
