Hey, just sharing in case someone can benefit. I've been reading all the security news coming out of dropbox, and some of the security guys I know suggested SpiderOak, so I've been fiddling with them. <a href="https://spideroak.com/">https://spideroak.com/</a><br>
<br>At first I thought they were just charging extra for the extra encryption, but then I realized their linux support is actually fairly robust, and their sync feature isn't locked down to one directory. It's customizable. Set up your own syncs.<br>
<br>I've been using their Ubuntu [Natty] client and my distro of choice is Mint11, so far it's working great. So I thought I would relay the suggestion in case someone out there in the intertubes might be interested in a similar service.<br>
<br>I realize that they are more expensive then the average mozy/carbonite...etc...., and money's precious - so I thought I'd include a link to some coupon codes: <b><a href="http://tinyurl.com/3n6hdcf">http://tinyurl.com/3n6hdcf</a></b><br>
<br>I also realize that the whole cloud backup strategy can be a topic of some discussion, there are benefits and disadvantages...etc...etc..., and it isn't my intention to take sides in that whole red v blue debate, but I do believe there's some value in having an "offsite" so I thought I'd share because cloud services that support linux aren't exactly coming out of the woodwork. To my knowledge it's Spideroak and Crashplan, and I wasn't crazy about Crashplan. (though I did like their peer to peer feature)<br>
