Is it forseeably possible to get Carbonite Online Backup running in Wine?
This is something I've wanted to get working in Wine for quite a while now
and have tried to do so every now and then (I think as far back as last year).
Just now bringing this to the forums.
I tried it again today and earlier this week with Wine 1.3.35. Nothing visible
other than endless babbling outputting from terminal occurs. I pasted a whopping
65 KB worth of this babbling here: http://pastebin.com/t76nWARh
Anyone can waltz right up to carbonite.com and download a free trial installer,
though you do have to create an account.
If you open this installer with an archive manager, you can see that it is made
mostly of java scipts. One of these is Installation.js, which I'm guessing
is the one that starts it all off.
It seems like I remember reading somewhere that Carbonite depends on IE somehow.
Anyways, Carbonite on Linux would be absolutely fantastic! I guess I'll move
to Crashplan if I want unlimited backup for Linux if Carbonite doesn't pan
out in Wine. It's just that there are lots of people who have already bought
subscriptions to Carbonite and then moved to Linux or and then found out about
unlimited backup for Linux (like guess who... me). At the time, I think
Carbonite was the only one that was offering unlimited backup that cheap. I
actually just found out about Crashplan today because I was about to write that
after much research Carbonite is the only relatively cheap unlimited online
backup. Then I thought, "I better double check. Things change, and that
research was from last year." And what do you know? Crashplan. They even
have a Solaris version.
Cheers,
