For the linux version, is there any thought given to separating the monitor from the daemon? Because I’d prefer jungledisk be running all the time, not just when someone is logged into X Windows, but if I do that, I then can’t use the monitor to look at status/backup errors.

I’ve installed – but now – no password is required to access the jungledisk data – I always believed that the password encrypted the settings file – and without the decrypted settings file – the jungledisk was not accessible.

Do I need to go back to get security?

I don’t want someone using my physical hard disk from accessing my jungledisk without the password.

I second the request for Workgroup Edition beta inquire about an ETA for release!

Thanks!

Howdy
Love your product concept. I come from a background of designing, building, and selling
backups to enterprise and fortune 100. (I currently work for one of those). I’m wondering
if you would go to the “next” level. A “Enterprise” level, with data deduplication. I’d love
to be able to push all my users desktops, and all my servers into a secure “unlimited” cheap per gigabyte storage.

Few things that are missing are a managemnt “console” and more of a “division” of “agents” on the pc, without “gui”. Also I think the deduplication that spans machines is important as well.

I’d look at doing some of this using NAS technology, but think S3 is even better.

Your comments would be great, feel free to email me.

@Matt – Yes. With the final release you’ll have the option to still run it in stand-alone mode if you prefer, and we’re also planning on adding additional security to the service version so that other user’s can’t access your files.

Looking great! Thanks! Question about the system service…

Do I understand correctly that when Jungle Disk is running as a service, all users have access to the same Jungle Disk data? On my home computer, this sounds great. However, on my work computer, I would rather Jungle Disk (or at least access to my personal Jungle Disk & Amazon S3 account) be restricted to my user. That being the case, would it be appropriate to offer users the choice to operate Jungle Disk as either a system service or as a program operating in user space? Or perhaps to leave it as a service, but allow user-specific configurations stored in our home directory with the option to restrict that configuration only to ourselves? Anyway, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Upgrade from 2.10a install on my Vista workstation went through cleanly. So nice to have this as a service so I don’t have to leave my machine logged in at night to get a backup!
