Trust able remote storage

[Billy Crook]

I've wanted something like that as well, but it always seems to be too
expensive.  Don't look for encryption at the remote location.  There's
no secure way to do that, as a matter of concept.  You have to encrypt
at your end before sending.

I used to use rsync.net, but it was WAY too expensive in the long run.
 S3 might be cheaper, but the whole having to pay every month thing,
well, sucks.  If you're interested, I'd be open to trading equal sized
hard drives, and then you can back up to your drive in one of my
machines, and I to mine in one of yours.  I don't want any way to
decrypt your data, and you won't be given any way to decrypt mine
either.  All we would be obliged to do is keep it online, and
avaliable, and follow equal rules on what hours and what xfer speeds
are acceptable.

I will be at the next meeting.  Let me know what sizes you have, I can
do 750, 300, 200, maybe 500, I'll have to check when I get home.
