Opening Up

Well, after a bunch of non-NArchivist work, I finally got back to my current pet project (though I'm really itching to get back to my REAL pet project, the TurtolCMS), and now NArchivist, my backup software, will not only back files up, but it can actually RESTORE them as well.  One would hope that would be a standard feature.  I've just "released" version 0.3 on SourceForge.   New features include:

• A basic desktop client from which you can select files to restore.  Of course, any file you would overwrite via a restore is first backed up (if necessary). 
• RackSpace CloudFiles support, so now you can store your backups to two truly distinct clouds, thus making your data a bit more secure. 
• After every backup session it backs up its own database.  You might think this would only be needed after a backup session in which files were uploaded, but since we also record "last-seen" data to catch file deletions, the database goes up every time.  Versioned, of course.  

Next, I'll have to make the website a bit more complete.  Which is to say complete at all.  After that, I'll try to get it running on Window, and flesh out the web-based interface I started.
