Hi, I'm happy to report that I've got tahoe working on OpenBSD now, connected to the test grid, and everything looks good. Thanks Zooko for walking me through creating a new pycryptopp dist and getting the tahoe build to use it.
I thought it was worth mentioning that when I run a tahoe command I do get some warnings about deprecated modules. Are these well-known and nothing to worry about? /home/kyle/tahoe/allmydata-tahoe-1.5.0/support/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-8.2.0-py2.6-openbsd-4.6-amd64.egg/twisted/persisted/sob.py:12: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import os, md5, sys /home/kyle/tahoe/allmydata-tahoe-1.5.0/support/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-8.2.0-py2.6-openbsd-4.6-amd64.egg/twisted/python/filepath.py:12: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha /home/kyle/tahoe/allmydata-tahoe-1.5.0/support/lib/python2.6/site-packages/foolscap-0.4.2-py2.6.egg/foolscap/banana.py:2: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated import struct, sets, time My interest in tahoe is to use the allmydata.com service to do backups. I obviously won't be using the Windows client software for this, so I need to create my own backup policy. I'd like to ask the list if there are common best known methods for this. I think my approach will be to designate a few directories I want backed up, and do the backup operation perhaps every week or so. I would want to keep a few historical copies of the data (e.g. one for last week, one for two weeks ago, up to a couple months of history). Is there an automated way for me to do that as an incremental backup, or would I be making a complete copy every time? Is there any kind of automatic deletion on the production servers? I can easily delete the backups I no longer need, but I'm curious what happens when someone loses their references to backed up data. Is that storage space lost permanently, unrecoverably, or is it somehow reclaimed? Thanks all! _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-dev@allmydata.org http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
