I currently use BackupPC to back up my servers to a single dedicated server. It works fine, but if I move the backups into the cloud I can save money and have less to maintain.
So, what has similar functionality to BackupPC (good web interface for status, restore etc.; pooling to save space; open source/free).
And what?s a good, sensibly priced, secure option for storage that integrates with the backup s/w?
Cheers,
Martin.

There are some really good amazon s3 clients which are free.
Personally i've been wanting to try rsync.net. you can use either standard
rsync or combine it with zfs for an amazingly quick backup. bit more
expensive but no usage fees.

Hi Steve
Oh thought that was reply to my email's contents, but nope.
Yeah I remember you sort of to some extent, it's been over two years.
The next LUG Meeting is actually coming up quite soon, Saturday next
week. I really intend to be at that one myself as well, since I haven't
been since I think it was October and really feels like that now as
well. Turn up at about 2pm and someone will probably be already there
at The Knights Templar Pub and we sit on the lower level at the back
usually, with people leaving about 5:30pm usually.
There's a parcel that's waiting to be picked up, but I have a feeling it
could be something quite interesting that I crowd funded last year, so
if I got that before the meeting I am bringing that along with me.
I wonder who else will be at the LUG meeting as well?
Regards
Sebastian
