Could the recent peak be related with the Cryptolocker campaign?

Could you name the modes, which help you accomplish live-debug and 1-click documentation effects?

The simplest way is to use netstat and check amount of connections from each host. If you see plenty hosts with many connections established, that's DDoS. If there is plenty hosts, but each one has few connections, thats DoS (aka slash dot effect), mentioned by Tomek_.

PS: DDoS - distributed denial-of-service attack. Deliberate attack which involves dedicated software; DoS - denial-of-service. Server can't handle all requests, because suddenly there is more of them (because of link on frontpage etc)

Sometimes it's not acceptable to store data on external server without root on it. For these kind of uses Unison (mentioned in previous comments) is decent solution, but also AeroFS (aerofs.com), which works much smoother (less collision problems).

Anyway syncing data on several devices must became standard soon.

It's worth mentioning that ssh-copy-id might have problems with specifying port number. Here is workaround for that:

$ ssh-copy-id ‘-p xx -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]’

Does anybody have PoC on this one?

It doesn't have to be true.
