Ed, any chance there will be a Linux version of Junglebook from Rackspace? (accept my apologies if there already is)
My point is that instead of using a Windows workstation to perform nightly backup, I would like to set up a Linux box to handle it....much more reliable.

I've spent a good chunk of time on the code that provisions new cloud servers to make sure that Windows and Linux instances are kept on different physical machines, since Windows licensing is per physical host, not per VM. Otherwise, the difference would be about twice as big! -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
