Julian –

I recommend locking your workstation when you leave (or automatically with the screensaver). Your configuration is protected by your account login, so even if someone reboots your machine they won’t have access unless they have your system login.

Great product. Is there a way you can enable password protection. (Even if its not 100% secure).

I don’t feel comfortable with leaving a computer in the office with my all my files online!

A password work help with this fear. Thanks

Block level changes are still in the works. We don’t have an ETA right now, but it is a top priority.

When can we expect the block-level differential upload/download? JungleDisk is cool for small files but due to the fact that it always transfers whole files, it gets so slow that it is unusable for mail repositories or similar larger files. Users would not only benefit from significant speedup but also smaller payments to Amazon. And the idea of hashing blocks rather than whole files clear to anybody. Hoping the next release is almost ready and that it has this feature..

Just wanted to second Kevin’s comment:

“I’d like Backup Cleanup to happen automatically during my scheduled backup, rather than having to run it by hand.”

Would love to use this on my production systems to backup, but glibc 2.4 makes that impossible. When could i try a glibc 2.3 build? thanks

3 cheers! I just configured JungleDisk at home (in addition to our work backup system) and very excited about the “cleanup” feature. That was my main gripe up to now (and it hadn’t stop my usage anyways).

I know a lot goes into each release.

Nice work!

A note to Linux users: This release requires glibc 2.4.x or later, which may or may not be on your system (look at the filename /lib/libc-*.so to find out what version you have). 2.3.x is still on many active systems such as Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and thus won’t run this release.

However, Jungle Dave has hinted that a future build will bring back compatibility with glibc 2.3. Hi Dave!

Great job. Two comments:
1) I’d like Backup Cleanup to happen automatically during my scheduled backup, rather than having to run it by hand. Can that be an option?

2) As of the last beta, JungleDisk would lock up my Mac if the Internet connection went down while the remote disk was mounted.

Thanks

You don’t need to edit the configuration files by hand at all – just run Jungle Disk Monitor (whichever executable is right for your OS), and it will open the configuration dialog and allow you to configure all the settings.
Once configured, the settings will be saved to the USB drive and travel with you.
