[Duplicity-talk] rsync.net "duplicity pricing" and (modest) contribution to duplicity development

[rsync.net]

Friends,

duplicity has been a fantastic tool for our customers at rsync.net who 
want encryption at-rest in addition to the in-flight encryption they get 
from SSH.  I suspect we have 500+ customers who use duplicity as their 
primary backup mechanism rsync.net cloud storage.

We'd like to serve more customers like that - clueful, unix-based and 
security minded - so we are offering a "duplicity friends" rate for our 
cloud storage of 4 cents per gigabyte-month.[1][2][3]

-----

Unrelated to this, we would also like to repeat our original $500 
contribution to the duplicity project that we made in 2007.  At that time, 
there was no maintainer and new versions were very slow to be released. 
Since then, Kenneth Loafman has been maintaining the project and 
development has been regular and healthy.  We trust Ken to distribute, or 
use, these funds to further this development.

Thanks,

John Kozubik
rsync.net, Inc.

usage/bandwidth/transfer charges *and* with 7 days of filesystem snapshots 
included, so perhaps about even ...
