I've been using SpiderOak [1] for a few months now and it does everything I've asked it to. Good cross-platform support for Mac, Windows, and Linux, including a headless mode so I can run it on my no-X server. You get 2 GB for free and then you have to start paying for it, but if I'm going to trust my data to some company on the web I'd rather they not go under for lack of funds.
For security, they actually have you set up your account within the downloaded client so they can ensure that they never see your password. The client generates a key from your password and then sends the data pre-encrypted, so the SpiderOak people can't ever read it, even under court order (they purport). Their documentation mentions over and over again that, if you forget your password, your data is gone. Plus, they publish a fair amount of the internal stuff they do as OSS [2], which may be a cynical marketing ploy but it worked on me. :-) - Adam [1] https://spideroak.com/ [2] https://spideroak.com/code On Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 3:57 PM, Anne Cross <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm looking to update my personal backup system.
