BITCASA REMOTELY BACKUP SOFTWARE
BITCASA REMOTELY BACKUP WINDOWS

The 'Create RAM disk' command in the Tasks menu will create a RAM disk, named Ramdisk, where you only have to specify its capacity in MB. Hence, specifying your home directory as source will imply that all files in your home directory will be included in the backup. The option '-a' implies that subfolders are included recursively. When the source will then differ from the target rsync will make an (incremental) backup. RAMDisk will then start a new copy (clone) of itself running in the background that will monitor the source issuing the unix command In case of backing up a file the time interval has to be given in seconds and for a folder in minutes.

Choosing one of them will bring up three consecutive dialog windows to choose the source and target file/folder and the respective backup interval. RAMDisk has a Tasks menu containing several commands, among them are the commands RAMDisk will backup open files and also offers the possibility to backup individual files. Time Machine does an excellent job backing up your data every hour, however, it will not backup open files.

Files can be backupped in intervals as small as 1 second and folders in intervals as small as 1 minute.

BITCASA REMOTELY BACKUP SOFTWARE

RAMDisk offers an easy and comfortable management for a RAM disk and its contents and in addition it can serve as a general backup software for your hard disk. Since data in RAM are not permanently saved but will disappear when a shutdown or a restart occurs, it is absolutely necessary that important files residing on a RAM disk will be backupped in very short intervals. These properties make it the ideal storage place for files experiencing intensive read or write actions like databases or files which have to be temporarily saved very often, and also for games. In addition, no mechanical wear and tear or noise will occur. so maybe bitcasa is really pulling off what they say they are.A RAM disk has the advantage that reading and writing data are extremely fast. Yeah, there have been a number of high profile cases where retailers have compromised credit cards, but I don't think the infrastucture itself has compromised, and the in terms of the scale of distributed transactions it processes and manages it's pretty impressive. On the other hand their founders claim to have been key in developing a lot of the infrastucture the credit card companies use. Needless I'm skeptical about bitcasa doing what I think they say they can do. In fact from what they say it's not clear that the beta they have now can un-cloudify a directory.īut I think bitcasa's description of what the actually provide is not really all that clear. They seem to mention being able move a cloudified directory to another machine, but it sounds like a feature for the future. As far as I know bitcasa only allows the machine that 'cloudified' the files to access them. If the ubantu cloud lets arbitrary applications access arbitrary files that appear to be on the local disk from multiple machines without turning them into mush, that is impressive.

You don't store arbitrary files in goggle docs that arbitrary applications access as though they were on the local disk drive, which is what bitcasa claims they can do. But I think google docs is really web application.
