SFURST This program has real promise. Similar to Mozy, with cross-platform clients (Mac, Windows, Linux), you get 2 GB free and 100 GB for $$$. It has the unique feature of having "zero knowledge encryption", which means your files are encrypted at the client with YOUR KEY, stored encrypted on the server, and not even the names of the files can be determined by SpiderOak or anyone else. This is true security. In addition to the OS client, there is web-based access where you can download a file, and a neat sharing facility that allows you to share some or all of your files with others. In my testing I've found the program very fast to upload, with good block-level hashing to upload only the "changed" portion of your files (great for those big files, especially your Entourage database). There are still things to fix, and the Mac interface isn't too Mac-like (as noted by other reviewers), but the developers are very responsive and interested in making things better. (Version 1.6005) |
