- The Blue? I'm sure there are others.

- I've just set Dad's Linux box up with dirvish. It's Perl </obperl>
- and rsync. It keeps multiple copies of the source filesystems and
- uses hardlinks to economise on unchanged files.
- He's only dumping to another disk in the machine, but with the magic
- of ssh authorisation key pairs you can send it... somewhere else, if
- there is anywhere.
- But not if rsync can't cope with the UFS+ filesystem?

- ...so I picked on Mozy to see what's out there these days.
- "448-bit Blowfish encryption" and "Public or private key encryption"
- are phrases from their website that ring alarm bells for me.
- Do people really want closed software copying their data back to some
- random company? It doesn't seem like the best idea.
- Not that Dirvish looks particularly easy to fit with encrypted storage
- that can't be peeked on the archiving side. Sigh.
- I have no Windows boxes at the moment so it's all rather academic for
- me. I use a mixture of Unison and (tar | bzip2 | gpg > DVD) for my
- backups, but it's all rather slaphazard.
