Thanks for the plug. :-) There are a couple of companies listed under http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/ as providing backup services (www.ahsay.com, www.exavault.com) but I don't see anything special about them aside from the fact that they presumably submitted PRs asking to be added -- to be honest, I'm not entirely certain why there is a "Commercial Vendors" page on the FreeBSD website at all when google does a much better job of finding vendors. While I'm always eager to have more people hear about tarsnap, I think putting any sort of list of vendors into the handbook would just end up as a huge mess unless there's a very clear policy about which companies get listed -- and I really can't imagine how to draw up such a policy. -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
