hi guys, need some advice. I want to backup some sensitive data online. Who offers the best services locally or even internationally.. and is there an open source software that you can recommend for encrypting data. I have also heard of these portable harddisks (500gb, 750gb, 1 terabyte etc) that are used for backing up data. who knows where i can find some that can be locked using a usb key. Thanks in advance

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You can use mcrypt for file encryption, if you on linux. its open source. You can also back up your files on any remote sever that you have access to, this could be private. then create a script for this, it will encrypt and secure your data using open ssh. but again this is on linux.

Get some backup software, e.g. Amanda, Symantec, Vembu etc, according to your preference and point it to an online server. You can look at www.bytemark.co.uk or www.cari.net... On 6/22/09, Pride <pride.njukia@swiftglobal.co.ke> wrote:

TrueCrypt would be a good encryption software for the portable USB HDD's, works on linux, windows and mac. Plus its open source. http://www.truecrypt.org/ On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 1:17 PM, Phares Kariuki <pkariuki@gmail.com> wrote:
