Comment Amazon S3 + duplicity + gpg + cron (Score 2, Informative) 287

I setup a backup system for a lawyer last year. Its basically a cron job that runs a script every night. It uses duplicity + gpg and stores everything on amazon s3. Its incredibly cheap. I store 6 months of revisions, with a full backup on the first weekend of every month, then incrementals after that. I perform regular restores and run a big md5sum job to ensure that the restores are working. I havent automated that stage of it yet, but so far so good. I'd be happy to send you the scripts if you want. PM me if youre interested.

New Crater On Moon Caught On Video 247

From A Far Away Land writes "NASA has released a video clip of a meteorite striking the surface of the Moon. From the article: 'On May 2, 2006, a meteoroid hit the Moon's Sea of Clouds (Mare Nubium) with 17 billion joules of kinetic energy -- that's about the same as 4 tons of TNT," says Bill Cooke, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office in Huntsville, AL.'"
