I use duplicity (http://duplicity.nongnu.org/) to backup up my linux boxes to S3. It supports a variety of back ends, uses Gnupg encryption, etc. It's only downside is that if you are ever in a situation of needing to recover files without duplicity, it is possible but not easy. -- Will McCown, Rolling Hills Estates, CA w...@ross-mccown.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
