Internet Backup
Curious what services/scripts people are using to back up data off their DNS-323s to Internet space. I was waiting for DLink to incorporate a backup service into their Firmware in 1.09 but the service seems rather expensive.

Re: Internet Backup
Using rsync, you can backup over the web. I believe the server will need the rsync daemon running though.

Re: Internet Backup
I use duplicity for offsite backup. Available in optware.
s3cmd may be useful ( I am not using it ) also available in optware.

Re: Internet Backup
I'm using Amazon::S3 in Perl to backup to you guessed it Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
I was using s3cmd (Python) from a Perl script, but decided I would compile up all the Perl packages needed for Amazon::S3 (what can I say I'm a Perl guy!) so that I could do it in pure Perl. (Note the sync command for s3cmd will not work on the DNS-323 for a large amount of files, it runs out of memory, because it keeps several copies of the list of files and their properties in memory).
I use rsync to back up from one hard drive to another and then "sync" the most recent copy to S3. It isn't really a sync, because what it does is read the rsync log to tell what has changed, and then do those changes for the S3 copy. S3 data is protected, but not encrypted, so I encrypt my data before I send it.
I like the price on S3 and basic developer friendly interface. I have about 18.5 Gig on there and transfer about 4-5 Gig a month, and it costs me about $3.00 a month.
