SpiderOak A multi-platform secure online backup, storage, access, and sharing solution engineered for the consumer and small businesses.
Running natively on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, SpiderOak allows users to create a central storage repository where they can access data from all their SpiderOak devices within the application, or via web login at SpiderOak.com.
Using an automated approach, SpiderOak immediately backs up and stores any additions, edits, or changes to the back up set. Historical versions of any document can be identified and downloaded by timestamp.
Any folders within a user’s SpiderOak account can be selected for sharing in a password protected setting called a ‘ShareRoom’, and any changes or additions to the shared folders are automatically seen by visitors to the ShareRoom.
Capabilities at a glance:
- True privacy via comprehensive “zero knowledge†encryption. Not even the names of your files or folders are revealed.
- Multi computer, real time: access all files from other machines
- Retains complete historical content of every folder and file
- Easily share folders from any device in ShareRooms w/ RSS feeds
- Massive data de-duplication: extremely space efficient versioning and storage
- Optional command line interface: batch mode, scheduled/scripted operation
- Quality by design: near 100% automated test coverage
- Properly handles OS X resource forks
- ACID compliant, fault tolerant structure eliminates worry of corrupted backups
What’s New in this Version
- Greatly reduced memory usage for uploading new transactions and reconstructing downloaded items
- Performance improvements for data de-duplificiation code
- Connectivity improvements: The Network Health meter should give more reliable indications of lag. Also improves handling of detecting broken connections even when the OS never reports the connection as having failed
- Show Windows ‘system’ files as well as ‘hidden’ files when using the ‘show hidden files’ view for backup selection
- Corrections for some rare crashes on initial startup
- Improved error handling and reporting when scanning filesystems for changes
- Better detection of deleted folders on external drives and network volumes
- Correction for a rare syndication problem involving generating the changelogs for trees with recursive purges
- Don’t crash when extended Unicode characters are part of a Windows operating system user’s name

As a very new user, can I have the recent 10GB promo upgrade “linkup”….please. Or perhaps you would like me to close down my existing account and start all over again ?
Thanks ….Andy
