A Jackalope is a cross between a Jack Rabbit and Antelope, so as you said a rabbit with horns. Thanks for the podcast, started listening a few episodes ago, really enjoying it.

My suggestion : Amazon S3 and Jungledisk. Pro's: - Data can be fully encrypted (using a private key, known only to you, which is done transparently by Jungledisk) - Mounted drive via Fuse for easy drag and drop. - Linux / Mac / Windows support for those that want cross platform compatibility. - Jungledisk can provide a mounted volume on all three platforms that can just be dragged and dropped to. - Offsite backup - Jungledisk has a great easy to use GUI which allows a plethora of options including incremental backups / version tracking. - Jungledisk also ships with a daemon for those that want easy offsite backup added to a server box (and can just be used as the front end to S3 and the fuse volume can be rSynced to). - Not free (Jungle disk is $20 and S3 is $0.15 per Gb) but very very inexpensive, even for large amounts of data (I have around 50Gb up on S3 and the cost is around £5 per month) Cons: - The first backup can take a while depending on the amount of data you are pushing and your upstream bandwidth (rsync diffs to the fuse volume will improve this). - Not free (but inexpensive) - Jungledisk is not open source (to my knowledge - although they do provide demo code under the GPL for the S3 interface) for those purists who want to be completely free. In my opinion this is a great way of providing a easy configurable, secure, multi platform stand alone backup or a simple bolt on to a server box to add off site backup.

Just my two cents (I promise I don't work for Jungledisk(!), but I have had nothing but a great experience with the software), Keep up the good work on the podcast Best, Adam Jungledisk : http://www.jungledisk.com S3: http://www.amazon.com/s3 Hello all,

After listening to the discussion spawned by Ciemon’s rSync woes it struck me that you missed a great backup option that might be suitable for those that want off site backup, but don’t run their own VPS / server boxes and don’t want the hassle of learning rSync.

My suggestion : Amazon S3 and Jungledisk.

Pro’s:
- Data can be fully encrypted (using a private key, known only to you, which is done transparently by Jungledisk)
- Mounted drive via Fuse for easy drag and drop.
- Linux / Mac / Windows support for those that want cross platform compatibility.
- Jungledisk can provide a mounted volume on all three platforms that can just be dragged and dropped to.
- Offsite backup
- Jungledisk has a great easy to use GUI which allows a plethora of options including incremental backups / version tracking.
- Jungledisk also ships with a daemon for those that want easy offsite backup added to a server box (and can just be used as the front end to S3 and the fuse volume can be rSynced to).
- Not free (Jungle disk is $20 and S3 is $0.15 per Gb) but very very inexpensive, even for large amounts of data (I have around 50Gb up on S3 and the cost is around £5 per month)

Cons:
- The first backup can take a while depending on the amount of data you are pushing and your upstream bandwidth (rsync diffs to the fuse volume will improve this).
- Not free (but inexpensive)
- Jungledisk is not open source (to my knowledge – although they do provide demo code under the GPL for the S3 interface) for those purists who want to be completely free.

In my opinion this is a great way of providing a easy configurable, secure, multi platform stand alone backup or a simple bolt on to a server box to add off site backup. My backup solution:
- Server box running hardy server on RAID 5
- all my machines rsync to the server box over ssh tunnel.
- subversion on server box for version control
- server box runs jungledisk to provide a fuse volume, which is rsynced to once a day + a bash script to provide version history on a per file extension basis.

Just my two cents (I promise I don’t work for Jungledisk(!), but I have had nothing but a great experience with the software),

Keep up the good work on the podcast

Best,

Adam
