From Apress, may be something of interest. - Forwarded message from Apress newslett...@apress.com - Date: Wed, 07 Jul 2010 09:19:11 -0700 From: Apress newslett...@apress.com To: adam.trick...@iredale.net Subject: Apress July 2010 Newsletter *** Apress July 2010 Newsletter *** One thing Mac and Microsoft users had in common in June was profuse sweating, whether you were standing outside of the convention center at TechEd in New Orleans or waiting in line for the iPhone 4 in New York City. But there were rewards for those who suffered through the heat. TechEd attendees saw the latest from Microsoft, with buzz circulating around BI and enterprise technologies like SharePoint 2010 and PowerShell. iPhone 4 owners had some difficulties calling their friends to brag due to the infamous reception issue, but you can’t complain about the thinner design, video chat capabilities, and iOS4 improvements like multitasking and folders. On the agenda for this month is OSCON, the premier open source convention, returning to Portland, OR from July 19th to the 23rd. Feel free to stop by the Apress booth (#510) and flip through our latest open source and Android books. *** Gain hands-on, practical experience with the latest evolution of ASP.NET Pro ASP.NET MVC 2 Framework, Second Edition by Steven Sanderson eBook Now Available, Print Now Available http://apress.com/book/view/9781430228868 Author Steven Sanderson has seen the ASP.NET MVC Framework mature from the start.

This year’s show in New Orleans offered four days of learning and collaboration with more than 10,000 customers, partners, and staff. It was the place to be to engage in conversations over 400 Microsoft and industry experts regarding business development, IT concerns, and the future of technology. The demand for breakout and interactive sessions covering the new .NET 4 platform and its associated technologies like SharePoint, Silverlight, and the forthcoming Windows Phone 7 was tremendous. We have already begun planning for Tech•Ed 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia, and don’t forget Tech•Ed Europe later this year in Berlin, November 8-12. If you weren’t lucky enough to make the trip to New Orleans be sure to check out the recorded sessions. OSCON July 19th-23rd OSCON, the premier open source conference in North America hosted by O’Reilly, will take place this month, July 19th-23rd in Portland, Oregon. The past year has witnessed some big changes in technology, with Cloud computing and mobile services leading the way. Developers must now adapt to rapidly evolving platforms, and open source is the key to managing these platforms. OSCON will feature hundreds of sessions covering open source languages and platforms such as Python, Java, Ruby, Perl, PHP and JavaScript. If you’re a developer, designer, trainer, programmer, sys admin, IT manager, hacker, or entrepreneur who is passionate about open source, stop by booth # 510 in the Expo Hall to see our latest collection of open source books in electronic and print format. *** Build advanced robots as you learn programming basics LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT-G Programming Guide, Second Edition by James Floyd Kelly. eBook Now Available, Print Now Available http://apress.com/book/view/1430229764 *** Apress User Group Spotlight Philly ALT.NET User Group The Philly

At $work we were looking for reliable, fast, cheap and secure remote offsite back-up and I was going to recommend a combo of rsync.net with Duplicity. This is from Debian Lenny systems. I found that Duplicity takes some getting used to and the requirement for encrypted backups makes recovering data non-trivial - oh well. When I have more time I will look into your solution and give some feedback. Side note: I get digest emails but did not see Martins original post, only Damian's reply.

There's no requirement for encryption at all. If you're happy to ship your plaintext off to S3 then just remove the GPG bits and you're done. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
