Re: Interpreting "dry-run archival without keys"



--As of November 5, 2015 4:20:15 PM -0800, Colin Percival is alleged to have said:

I think most consumers only use tarsnap to back up their more important
files, not the contents of their MP3 collections. ;-)

--As for the rest, it is mine.

I was using it to back up my movie collection for a long while... After all, I spent a fair amount of money on it in getting the digital versions, so they're worth quite a fair amount. ;)

(Though I wouldn't have minded the idea you floated a while back of using Amazon's deep freeze storage for them - the data didn't change much, and I could have waited a few days for the restore to be ready to run, if I could have gotten the backup cheaper.)
