sbak updates

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 05:37:06 +0000

It is recommended that all users of sbak update to revision 14. This new revision has been rewritten in C, and no longer exposes sensitive backup information in the process list. This version should work everywhere that the old version worked, as long as there is a GNU c compiler.

Freshbooks interest calculator

admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 13:45:59 +0000

We’ve just built a system that allows users of Freshbooks to automatically apply interest to their client’s invoices, as well as apply NET XX XX rules, and charge monthly financing fees for carrying debt.

We’re looking to find people interested in testing/using the system. Please send us an email at our support email address, which you’ll find on the support page.

sbak goes open source

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 02:47:11 +0000

We put in our application to sourceforge today to host our project, sbak, as a GPL licensed project. Fingers crossed, we’ll be checking in source code for the public to use in the next day or two.

sbak enables you to easily backup remote servers with a simple command line. The backups can be automated, and sbak uses hard-links to make your backups consume as little space as possible.

The Flux Capacitor

A flux capacitor built by a Back To The Future fan

It struck us like a bolt of lightening. What if backups could travel in time, and space?

Actually, what we’ve created is a service that backs up of your Internet server, but with a twist. The Flux Capacitor enables your files to travel in time and space while creating minimal server load. If you have a requirement for off-site server backups, The Flux Capacitor is the fastest and most cost effective way of meeting it.

Like most offerings from Obstacles Gone, the Flux Capacitor is based on extremely widely supported Open Source products but will be fully supported by our Technical Support line.

If you use Obstacles Gone for your hosting needs, your files are already 100% protected. For a nominal fee, we can restore your files to the state they were in at any given hour over the last 10 days.

The foundation of Flux Capacitor is ‘sbak’, a utility that we will be releasing under GPL on Thursday March 12th, 2009.

The Flux Capacitor web interface will become available for general use in April, 2009.
