The use case was to have a service similar to Dropbox (synchronisation
and versioning) which doesn't require any action from the client (in
my case the home computer).
Using tahoe, I have synchronisation between my remote server and the
home computer. But I don't want the home computer to manage the
backup, and when a backup occurs on the remote server I don't want the
home computer to be "disturbed".

I hope that it is more understandable that way ?

Thanks !
