I don't have a lot of familiarity with the CLI tool, except to say that it is the right tool for what you're trying to do, at least for now. I'm working on another backup tool which I think is much better, but I'm not ready to recommend it to others yet, unless your interest is in helping me to create it rather than to use it. I'll answer a couple of the questions, though:
> 4. If I want to make sure that I'm storing data securely, do I create my > SSL keys beforehand and make them known to tahoe, or do I use "tahoe > create-key-generator"? You don't need to create any keys to store your data securely. Tahoe is secure by default. When you create directories in Tahoe, you get back a very long URL that looks something like: http://localhost:3456/uri/URI%3ADIR2%3Aj2jy73j7p4wmcmpkbnezase36a%3Asr3mbzeqglcpdykyiuaufbsccqnaiipgfcdiqfkomhlndkasjgxa/ Creating the directory creates appropriate keys, and the keys are actually embedded in the URL, which is why it's so long. Store that URL somewhere safe and your data is secure. > 5. I should be able to cron the CLI command (question 2) to create a backup > schedule, correct? Yes.
