Hello, we did some research and we would like to try to write a Tcl/Tk wrapper around rsync. Tcl/Tk - - is easy to write - has nice GUI library - is cross platform - has several installers Would somebody be interested to participate? Our goal is - To have a small Windows XP and OS X backup applications that allow the user to select a folder which is sent to a remote server. Incremental difference is kept (or other, optional). A file browser allows the user to see the backup and restore everything/selected files. We have not researched enough into the security yet. We hope Tcl/Tk will support some form of encrypted connection (i.e. rsync over ssh for backup and ssh for the file browser). The security of the stored data is not clear yet (if it is encrypted, it can't be rsync-ed, etc.). Our idea is to make a small package which allows reliable remote backup services to be built. Iv

There's already at least one, now unmaintained, Java class wrapper to rsync that I know of (not to be confused with the Java implementation of rsync, also currently unmaintained). You'd be able to pick up where they left off. I would consider helping on a project like that. ..Chuck.. -- http://www.quantumlinux.com Quantum Linux Laboratories, LLC.

It base on perl/TK. It only support MS-Windows. But because it base on open standards it will be easy to make it compatible with other OS. Is open source so you can expand it. ---------------------------------------- Read this topic online here: Sent using Mail2Forum (http://www.mail2forum.com). http://forums.nasbackup.com/viewtopic.php?p=4149#4149 ---------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
