OK, you've piqued my interest. What use have you found for Plan 9?
How do you guys find time for all this? I used to have a couple of
racks of boxes in the basement, then I got married, had three kids and started a Theology PhD program.. Now anything I do at home is purely practical.
I took on some ideas for backup though, so I am sorting out a
backblaze account and using Randy's fantastic sync thing that he mentioned. I really do not want 18 months of research to vanish.

One thing about Backblaze is they don't have redundant sites. They have only one facility so if a giant meteor takes it out your data is gone. Amazon's S3 is the way to go for data that matters.
Greg
I actually used S3 for a while and it was pretty good. I just need a single off-site backup dump. What do people use to automatically sync windows/mac/Linux desktops to something? I am using sugarsync at the moment, I would rather do something myself to sync say whenever I connect to my home network to a home server. -- Leigh ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
