+Hello,
+
+I hope my understanding of the git-annex webapp is correct, and if not, please correct my wrong thought-pattern.
+
+I have 2 VPS servers and 5 computers. On the 5 computers, I want to sync one folder (with subfolders and files). All the computers are full-disk encrypted, and it is important for me that when the data leaves my computer, it stays encrypted in one way or another. I want to use the two VPS's as an encrypted ssh full backup repository.
+
+The computers are rarely on at the same time, some are off for two weeks, others are on more frequent. However, the VPS's are always on.
+
+Now, is it possible to set up git-annex to support this behaviour? Using an encrypted ssh remote to make sure the folder is in sync on all computers? 
+
+I've set git-annex up on one box, with the two servers as encrypted full backup remotes (without git-annex installed there), and configured my jabber account. That all works, and the files get synced.
+
+Then I've set up a second computer, while the first one is still on. There I've added my jabber account, and created a local repository. Then I selected "Share with your other devices". It now shows my jabber account, and I saw a few syncing messages, but then there came errors, "Unable to download files from your other devices". I've attached the log at the bottom of this page.
+
+It gives me the option to add a Cloud Repository. If I add the encrypted rsync full backup remote VPS there, will it work and keep my files in sync? is there something I'm doing wrong?
+
+Note that the computers I've set up now are two OS X machines running Mountain Lion, and the servers are CentOS 6.
