As someone who tried to convince his boss to use Shachar's product, I can tell you that there are companies (in israel!) who sell a competing product, which is closed source, but:
* works with a nice Java Based web interface, * it has a CLI version (works on 64 bit as well) * it's incremental backup * their service sends you email when you finish the backup * the email tells you what amont of data (in MB) has been sent * if you miss a backup a few days, you get a call from them "is everthing ok"? - don't trust automated setups! * they store up to a week of information as history * the traffic is encrypted using blowfish * if your initial backup is "huge" they can send someone to your office which comes with a USB disk and copies it manually the first time. Besides it being closed source, written in java and (*) it's a damn good service. I can recommend off list if you want. Still, if I had the choise, I would use Shachar's service, not only because of (*). I prefear my money to go to someone from the community. Shame it's not my money, right Shachar? ;-) (*) has far as I can tell, the encryption key is the password used for the service. I also know that a support guy can see the encrypted password of each customer. I hope I am drunk+stupid+lazy+mistaking, since if I am right, this is completelly fucked up.
