Is the servic guarranteed?
Is there any possibility of adding a “deduplication” value added service.
“scan files uploaded for duplicates”
As every time I consider doing this, (even using an automated tool, the time required seems very offputting

When I heard about S3 I knew something like this would pop up sooner or later. I feel much better knowing I have true redundant offsite backups - and I can link it all in my Windows, Linux or Mac boxes. FANTASTIC!

Some of us don't use x-windows but would still like to use jungledisk. How about a console only version for linux? Some of us don’t use x-windows but would still like to use jungledisk.

In a future version we are planning on letting users specify an independent key for encryption, and even different keys for different files. We're planning on putting a FAQ up as soon as we have a fair number of questions to be answered.

It is possible to use the WinXP redirector as well, but there are some caveats (as you mentioned) - we are planning on documenting the issues for those who want to use the redirector in a future release.
