I want to get a web-app. written that will run in in a .NET environment that will allow users to attach a known USB HDD device (with specific formatting) to their Windows system, create a file system backup (by initiating a file transfer to a directory on their HDD, or possibly (if they pay for the space) a file system on the web (this isn’t necessarily needed yet) and than allows them to restore this backup to a new HDD.

Requirements:
1. Would prefer a web-based application for licensing purposes (DB of licenses, MSSQL is fine), and access to server backup space (for those who choose to backup online).

2. Users would be given the opportunity to keep their file system in tact despite different partition locations.

More specifics on request with NDA. I am a computer scientist, so I would love to discuss the prospect of this project with programmers whom have more experience in this space. I am most interested in this C# library (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusbdotnet/) as it is being actively developed, and looks powerful enough to run in the web environment.

Thanks.

PS. A java-app is not out of the question, the USB libraries, however, seem out of date.
