Can a backup vault made with the reseller edition be used for the reseller server edition when it becomes available? I’d like to get a start on creating the backup vaults for a few clients but don’t wish to waste time or bandwidth if I’ll just have to do it all over again.

Also, any word on a release date for the reseller server edition?

Thanks

I have the Desktop Edition, and am in the process of buying an HP MediaSmart server. What happened to the version of Jungle Disk for WHS? Can I install my Desktop Edition on WHS?

Vito – There is no need to keep the client management app running unless you want to check the status or reconfigure. The backups will proceed on the server without it.

Hi!
I finally found the time to try today the server edition (after using almost since the beginning the desktop edition!).

I am currently backing up the data on a VPS, but I am a bit confused about how these backups work. I can see in the client management app (linux edition) that the back up is going on fine etc. But what happens if I close the client app? Will the backup continue or not? Also, if the client app is shut down, will the scheduled backup still occur on the server?
I hope backing up servers this way does not mean we need to depend on a PC up and running!

Thanks in advance
Vito

Hello,

I was just about to buy two more copies of Jungle Disk to install for my family and discovered the recent changes in pricing. To be blunt, this isn’t simply changing the pricing, this fundamentally changing what the product is from a buy-once to a subscription-only product.

I am disappointed to see there is no option to purchase the software like I originally did without the ongoing subscription. Unfortunately I’m not going to buy Jungle Disk now, because what we need is what Jungle Disk used to be – not what it has become. It is a shame, because prior to this subscription requirement Jungle Disk was exactly the product I had been looking for and was very happy with it.

Please consider restoring the self-managed, subscription-free storage as an option again because I would prefer to remain a customer and to continue to recommend JD to my friends and family. But I can’t at this time due to the subscription requirement.

Best regards,

Adam – it’s a bit more abstract obviously, and supposed to represent files in motion.
As for the monthly fees, aren’t you already paying monthly fees for Amazon storage? Why the objection to fees for the software? Compared to the old one-time purchase option plus the $1 Jungle Disk Plus subscription (which is now included for all users), the new pricing is less even expensive for the first few years.

I’m just curious to know what the new logo is supposed to be or represent. The old logo was nice, but I can’t figure out this new one.

I am also a legacy user that used to recommend JD to others, but no longer do because of the monthly fees. Bring back the flat-fee product, and I will once again start recommending you to others.
