From the administrative interface of my Buffalo NAS, I created a network share that I could access with the different systems in my office. It's an SMB share so that it can also be accessed from Windows if needs arise. I then permanently mount those shares as network file systems (though not NFS) on my Kubuntu Karmic system.

A normal file copy would copy the entire file even if a few bytes have changed. DeltaCopy, on the other hand, would only copy the part of file that has actually been modified. This reduces the data transfer to just a small fraction of 500 MB saving time and network bandwidth. In technical terms, DeltaCopy is a "Windows Friendly" wrapper around the Rsync program, currently maintained by Wayne Davison. "rsync" is primarily designed for Unix/Linux/BSD systems. Although ports are available for Windows, they typically require downloading Cygwin libraries and manual configuration.http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsplystrata2009-11-26T04:00:36+01:00backup freeware opensource rsync software tools utilities windows <span itemprop="description">In general terms, DeltaCopy is an open source, fast incremental backup program.

Danese Cooper, who is actively involved in the open source community through her work with the Open Source Initiative and Apache, as well as working as an R wonk for Revolution Computing, would love to see the government become more open. Part of that openness is being able to access and interpret the mass of data that the government collects, something Cooper thinks R would be a great tool for. She'll be talking about R and Open Government at OSCON, the O'Reilly Open Source Convention.http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/07/making-government-transparent.htmllystrata2009-08-02T15:52:30+02:00R daily egovernment math opensource software statistics <span itemprop="description">With Open Source now considered an accepted part of the software industry, some people are starting to wonder if we can&#039;t bring the same degree of openness and innovation into government.

But last month, an IDC survey of Western European companies found that nearly ten percent were using open source enterprise software.

IDC also reported that the leading open source enterprise applications are growing – by 20 percent or more per year.http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/3828671/101-Open-Source-Apps-for-Enterprises.htmlystrata2009-07-10T00:24:31+02:00applications enterprise opensource <span itemprop="description">Until recently, few enterprises were using open source software for back office applications, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM).
