So, since I've gotten Ubuntu setup the way that I want on my workstation, I've been trying to figure out a good way to back up everything that is free, encrypted, and doesn't run the risk of media dying. The solution? Using gmailfs + encfs to mount a spare GMail account and use that 5GB of space for something other than porn and penis-enlargement spam. I'll detail in another post how to setup the actual backup, but here I'll cover setting up the encrypted, online mount point in Ubuntu 7.10 (which will probably work for other distros).
