Do you have any design ideas or code? I do not like EncFS+rdiff-backup, esp. passwords stored (and hashed, I know) in remote servers. With GPG+rdiff-backup, asking passwords is not suitable in cron-jobs, but acceptable. rsnapshot will generate very large files, I have no concrete ideas about that, but doubt that. +1

What is up with this silly Health Care Bill. A waste of a lot of money! The problem is if you voice your opinion they don't even listen to you these days. I don't condone what is happening in the town halls, but the reason they are yelling and make problems is because their representatives are not listening. OK now I will get down from my soap box.

It makes business sense to not make canceling "easy", but it should at least be able to happen without dealing with a sales rep (IVR at the very least). I also think notifying consumers prior to renewal should be a legal obligation. I had a bad experience like this with a hosting company.

They once told me that even though I had a confirmed cancelation of my account and they had then billed my card for an automatic renewal that their computer could not make an error!! Watch your card for an automatic billing.... Like DUH..

Saved me time on our vmWare system. The same problem happens in Xen but the file you have to work on is called z25_persistent-net.rules, using the same path you have noted above. Thank you for that.

My recent call to them was nearly as horrendous. I kept telling the agent that my DVD drive had died and they couldn't understand what I was saying. After repeating myself over and over using different words she finally understood. How in the world is $7.99 a month cheaper than $30 a year? Even their $50 a year is cheaper than $7.99 a month. I went to North Sanpete High School, which means I can't add :) but even I know that $30 a year is cheaper than $7.99 a month :) Oh man do I feel your pain.
