The reason I ask is that I definitely want to move to vaults, but would prefer to retain old versions. If the (hypothetical) back-end conversion might retain versions, I'll take a wait-and-see approach. If retaining versions will be impossible, then I'm better off biting the bullet, starting new vaults now, and keeping the old style backups for a couple of months until the vault has been in place long enough to make me happy about the retention.

You probably do not realize how painful it is to put up with the GUI that replaces all non-ASCII characters with question marks. Try simulating this to get better understanding of how your bi-lingual users suffer... I have to mention that your competitors do not have this problem. I am really looking forward to you fixing this major annoyance. No Unicode support still.

As for the "at least but no more than" type limitation, unfortunately we found that too difficult to implement with block backups at this time. Without getting to technical, it has to do with the fact that we don't really measure versions the same way we did before - every backup of a file is seen as a new "version", even if the file hasn't changed - of course each version doesn't take any more space. As such it's easy to throw out old versions, but hard to measure a # of concrete versions. We could conceivably have different retention periods for deleted vs. updated files in the future.

Even if it's not as detailed (just shows the current storage amount but not what % compression it is based off actual files). I have a linux server at home that doesn't have a monitor and I run jungledisk from the command line. This makes getting the disk usage from it impossible. Perhaps adding an option to the web interface similar to http://localhost:2667/~operations listing operations in progress. Add something like http://localhost:2667/~vault-usage and prints out the disk usage of any vaults that computer is attached to. @JD: +1 on showing the usage space on other vaults.
