Could you please explain step-by-step how you performed your Backup Bouncer test?

My own Backup Bouncer test with Jungle Disk has just miserably failed …

Arq is the only other Mac online backup software that can pass all the Backup Bouncer tests:

Arq is more Mac-like than Jungle Disk but less feature-rich, i.e. most Jungle Disk users might probably want to stay with Jungle Disk.

Tested in workgroup:
Preservation of openmeta tags:
- worked with backup, well done!
- but it doesn’t work with sync, too bad
Any chance jungledisk sync will be compatible with openmeta tags in the future?

Many thanks and congratulations on this new feature. I was evaluating JD against Dropbox for a multiple computer sync solution and backup.

This clearly settles the question. Now, if only I could get better speeds to/from Rackspace server from here in Italy…

Very cool! Do you have any pointers to benchmarks using Backup Bouncer that show what Time Machine is missing?
