[aklug] Re: Amazon + Jungle Disk = awesome off site storage

I forgot to mention.. duplicity uses the S3 storage backend as well,
among others, and it stores everything compressed using whatever method
you want. bzip2? gzip? lzop? etc... That's something not easily done
using rsync unless you are using a compressed filesytem overlay on your
local side. Think of all the money you would save assuming even 2:1
ration on your stored data, including your time to transfer. If you
assume 2:1 compression you also assume a 2x speed boost on transfer time.
Cheers,

Shane
