Until recently I have been using FTP to send small incremental backup files to a cloud storage provider (DriveHQ), but recently the service has altered its terms and conditions so I expect not to be able to use the service in the future. In response to this I've been trying other similar...

A very good point. I think we were all thinking that. My guess? It's a mind-share thing.

Re: Delay after login before password prompt in ssh? Thanks all.

Re: Delay after login before password prompt in ssh? Hmm, odd, sometimes the gap is a couple of seconds, sometimes 30 seconds. It used to be consistently two seconds or less.

What controls the delay between entering the login name and the "Password" prompt appearing in a SSH session?

Unetbootin does the job.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of pciconf -lvb attached. Is there anything else I should provide? Thanks.

On testing my new installation of X, I'm getting the following error message Segmentation fault: 11 at address 0x5014 Fatal server error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault: 11). Server aborting Please consult the The X.org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help. Please also check...

I'm with Doctor Fine on this. Take advice from Ellen Ripley 'Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure'.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm considering knocking something purpose built up myself. Any thoughts or ideas?

It seems the people concerned can only use MS Office, so the Google Docs suite isn't suitable. Shame really.

Further information. I now learn that some collaborators can't (or wont!) install programs. At present the people involved have reverted to an email scheme with file name modification indicating current version. I guess this means the only viable solution would be a browser based one. I'm...

Does Google Drive lock files to prevent concurrent editing? The Google Docs web site is ambiguous on the matter? Also thanks.

A friend of mine, an academic, has to to collaborate on research projects and she has had some negative experience with SharePoint. She seeks a simple web based file sharing solution, which allows locking based sharing, and recovery of previous versions of Word, Excel and Powerpoint files...

I'd like to hear about any experience of Amazon Web Services Glacier system. Details here: https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/

I'm stuck at this point Trying to run that command returns a Command not found error. I found a file with that name in /usr/ports/x11 but trying to run that returns a Permission denied error. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this problem?

As usual, for me, my question was a bit vague. What I want is something that creates an image I can restore onto a blank disk, the restore method is unimportant, what I seek is an unattended backup method, so I don't have to remember to do it myself.

As one of a number of backup techniques, I use G4U to create a disk image from my main system. For those not familiar with G4U, it uses a Live NetBSD CD to boot and creates an image file using dd, which is sent by FTP to a system on the same network. Today my CD drive died and it made me...

Is there any useful indication of how long the data stored on a hard disk bought today might be relied upon?
