Hi, It looks like there was a New England regional a couple of years ago. Is there still any activity/interest in this region? I can imagine that in addition to folks who missed the registration power-hour, there might be a significant group that can't get their library to support a trip to

Definitely. Some colleagues in New Haven and I put in a proposal to host the 2011 conference here: http://www.library.yale.edu/~dlovins/c4l/code4lib2011.html I'm still interested in the possibility of hosting a regional, and Yale could certainly be an option to host. Mark On Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at

Hi Joe, I think there'd certainly be significant interest. IIRC, the few of us who organized the last one--my god, was it three years ago?--figured we'd leave it to others to step up and drive the next gathering. That clearly never happened. I'm happy to get involved again though. I may even

Apologies to anyone who is not interested in this thread, but I'm curious to know what backup software comparable to OS X Time Machine Linux users have on their lap/desktops. Time Machine is one of those parts of OS X that would make it hard for me to emigrate from the garden. Mark -

I don't know how it compares to Time Machine but as far as Linux backup software goes I really like Bacula. You can backup to disk, tape, or tape libraries. Thomas On Friday 16 December 2011 13:06:02 you wrote: Apologies to anyone who is not interested in this thread, but I'm curious to

Mark- One option which works on any Linux/Unix machine (including OSX) is rsync with the --link-dest option. This does the same thing as Time Machine: it creates backups that hardlink to existing copies of files (if they exist) saving disk space on unchanged files. There are lots of

Hi, I'll just chime in for my favorite backup solution for my stuff at home: BackuPC [1]. You set up a dedicated box on your local network, and it backs up configured clients (Mac, Linux, Windows), whenever it finds them. I've got it tweaked a bit to also back up a few personal web sites that I
