Tarsnap Mastery: Online Backups for the Truly Paranoid

Tarsnap, the secure online backup service for Unix-like systems, raised the bar for online backups. It's inexpensive. It's reliable. And you don't need to trust the Tarsnap service-they can't access your backups even if they wanted to.

With Tarsnap Mastery you'll learn to:

* install and manage Tarsnap on Linux, Unix, Windows, and OS X
* fully exploit features like encryption and deduplication
* create and recover archives
* customize backups to precisely your requirements
* passphrase protect keys
* create and manage special-purpose keys
* automatically back up and rotate archives

Ditch the tape room. Put your backups online, and know that they're safe.

Tarsnap Mastery. Because life doesn't back itself up.

"I learned a lot about Tarsnap while reading this book - things I had forgotten, and things I had never even realized. As befits the author of so many technical books, Michael's attention to detail is truly outstanding." -Colin Percival, Tarsnap designer
