"Last week, I told you about my NAS purchase, and my desire to explore desktop applications for backing up your Ubuntu computer. From the administrative interface of my Buffalo NAS, I created a network share that I could access with the different systems in my office.

In general terms, DeltaCopy is an open source, fast incremental backup program. Let's say you have to backup one file that is 500 MB every night. 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.

Wer eine Software wie iTunes nutzt, kann die aktuellen Informationshäppchen in einem Podcast-Verzeichnis abonnieren und anschließend ohne Probleme auf seinen Audio-Player übertragen. Apples beleibte Software, immerhin über 60 Megabyte groß, macht sich inklusive Shop-Integration auf Ihrer Festplatte breit. Bedeutend einfacher wäre es, wenn sich das Programm für die Abo-Verwaltung direkt auf dem Stick befinden würde. Diesen Weg geht die MyPodder-Software von Podcastready.
