Best Home directory Backup Tool for Linux Mint (& Ubuntu derivatives)

 

 

I also use (NZ-based, Dave) Mega account with 50GB cloud storage, but I know that may excite comment from Cat & Nick, lol.

I would not use anything that Kim Dotcom is associated with.  

 

+1!

While I don't know much about the laws of the AU, other than what's reported by those who lives there, the US has taken a hard stance on Kim Dotcom. What was he thinking of when placing a server on US soil in Virginia to distribute files, when he could have easily done the same with another country that would look the other way by the greasing of some palms? US citizens has a lot to be concerned about when connecting to his site & downloading files, our ISP logs are (by US law) retained for so long of a period, and it's possible that the US authorities has his site tapped to catch every IP address who visits MEGA, as well as what we're obtaining when going there. 

The OS we run is irrelevant, our IP address is, and alternative browsers like Onion doesn't provide the security many likes to think anymore. Rather the opposite, the usage of it draws attention of the authorities. 

Maybe some countries looks the other way from those who grab illegal files from such sites, yet rest assured the US doesn't. While the ISO in question (TimNet) is legit, US visitors to the site are drawing unwanted attention to themselves, as the government is determined to take Kim Dotcom down.

Kim Dotcom is in deep trouble, along with his partners, and he knows it. Chances are, all of those folks in pictures on the board also knows & is covering for him, no one can work for a criminal & be that ignorant of what's going on. Piracy, be it Windows software of Hollywood movies, is illegal in the US. Had he never placed a server on our soil, we'd have no case against him, this shows where greed blinds the concept of common sense thinking on his part. Servers can be reached from most anywhere in the world, though of course US 'customers' were fed faster speeds with one at home.
