chas – You know it’s funny but I’ve been getting more and more peeved at Jungle Disk by the minute. What started out as a simple little app has turned into a minor memory hog. Part of my problem is that I’m running a fairly old machine (I bought way back in Sep. 06′), so I’ve been hesitant to make a stink…but it really irks me that JD needs 20 meg of ram to “monitor” my disk at all times, plus another 7-10 meg to make sure I can open a window at any time.

In fact, in order to keep my machine as fast as possible, I shut down JD during the day.

I’m happy to see that someone else is complaining about this – it makes me feel more confident about adding it to the review.

Thanks for the comment.

I thought Jungle Disk was too much of a resource hog. It wants to run in the background as a service by default, and seems to work itself into your startup items even after you try to disable it. I had to uninstall it. Now I’m writing my own S3 app so I have more control and efficiency.

Ron – I’m not aware of anything 3rd party, but that’s a good question.

Does anyone out there know of an independent third-party confirmation that JungleDisk backups are encrypted as advertised?

Thanks!

Doug – Good call. I think Jungle Disk is different – I have to say I’ve been nothing but impressed since installing their software.

I never comment online. Well obviously never is . UNTRUE HAHAHAHA

I am a consultant and I sell backup services. Jungle Disk is the best there is. I use it with all my favorite backup products as well as alone.

For example I love SyncbackSE and pro. If something needs syncback features but I want it offline as well I just point to the network drive I have with Jungle.

I have copies of my clients data on both Amazon and Now Rackspace. Jeez the price is so worth it and support is excellent.

LETS HOPE IT REMAINS LIKE THIS!!! Too often companies get ruined when bought out.

Jason – Adam is referring to the Jungle Disk “lifetime” license.

I’ve been a JD customer for nearly a year, so my lifetime license has already paid for itself in savings over the monthly fee!

Jungledisk Plus you can get it from the jd Web site for an add’l $1/mo. it is totally worth it… it allows for resume of interrupted uploads… and a web interface to your online data from any computer.

Mozy wasn’t finished uploading my data two weeks into using it on a Mac — jd did it in a day.

Adam – Thanks for commenting. I remember reading something about that on another blog when I was looking into JungleDisk, but then I couldn’t find it. Where is that option?
