This is less of an ISP and more of a "filesystem in the sky" ... an offsite filesystem. I encrypt all of the data I send there, so it's not an issue
no keys are stored at the remote location? or the traffic is encrypted before the files are stored to disk plaintext?
Yes, that's right. Unlike Iron Mountain and the other commercial offsite data storage providers, rsync.net is open to the entire SSH suite. So what I do is mount my offsite filesystem over sshfs, so i can use it as a local filesystem, and then create a FreeBSD GBDE image on it, which I then also mount. So it is a remote encrypted filesystem over ssh. If my data is ever seized or a search warrant is ever served, all they will see is a 4 gigabyte file of random bits. So in the end, the "warrant canary" doesn't concern me much practically, because I don't really care if rsync.net gets served ... it's still nice to see though. YMMV. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
