Hey, I resemble that remark. Paranoia is a reasonable approach to life.
I've been following this discussion with academic interest, but had no
interest in using Dropbox OR SkyDrive OR Google Drive (or others
unnamed, but that are similar).
An open source client is a step towards that: http://www.tarsnap.com
is an online backup service with an open source client. Tarsnap is
written/run by the FreeBSD security chap, Colin Percival. (No
affiliation, not even a customer, but I'll probably use it for
important, personal things (at least), if I decide to get more
rigourous than just distributed git repos.)
Thank you for that link. I've been looking for something like that for a
few years, now, and having only ONE Windows machine, and a bunch of
useful Unix machines, most off site backup methods have left me cold. A
few have a Linux client, but most of my machines are BSD. I'll probably
try this out in the next few weeks.
Thanks again.
