Comment does this need to be so complicated? (Score 2) 153

From what I have parsed the OP wants to have a full back-up on a USB-HDD and the diffs on the USB-Flash, because the Flash is limited in size.
Just write two rsync (or grsync) scenarios: one for HDD and the other for the Flash. On the HDD you will have a directory that is a mirror copy of your laptop. On the Flash you will keep the diffs for the time between syncs to the HDD.

When at home
1. rsync your laptop to the HDD (mirror).
2. copy the incremental stuff from the Flash to a separate directory (e.g. diff-2012-May-21) on the HDD, and wipe the Flash.

At the road:
just rsync diffs to that Flash.

I guess the recovery plan is quite obvious too. Should any _one_ of those three devices die, you are still good to go.

What you did not get is that the email is not "missing" from the tablet. The model is the separation of sensitive information (corporate email etc.), which stays on Blackberry and all the other stuff including your private data on the multimedia platform Playbook. But obviously due to the lack of marketing this was not really clear to a bunch of people.

Comment Medvedev talks to Russian WWW experts (Score 1) 293

Here an example of a constructive lobbing (google translation) that certainly had influence on the process http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kremlin.ru%2Fnews%2F11115&act=url
I must admit Medvedev has a talent of staying on topic and making insightful comments from a country governance perspective. The discussion gives a nice insight into the problems law makers have in contemporary Russia.
