Greg,
Thanks for the info. What distro(s) are you deploying tarsnap on and did you roll your own package to make the deploy easier?
I was using a centralized bacula VM w/encryption on ZFS until the array failed on the KVM host and killed EVRYTHING. So I started looking for a cloud based solution that provided encryption so I could prevent this from happening again which is how I stumbled on tarsnap.
Just started using puppet so I figured I could use it to manage tarsnap so even if a client dies I can easily redeploy plus have the advantage of making changes much quicker.
Any other advice is appreciated!
David
