So...is there actually anything new here? Doesn't look like it.

Nothing significant has changed on the Tarsnap website recently, no. I'm guessing the submitter only just became aware of Tarsnap and didn't realize how much it has been discussed around here already.

On the other hand, his account is almost 3 years old, so it would be surprising if he had missed all the previous discussions. Either way though, I'm not going to complain about getting some more traffic...

Yes, that is correct. I guess I was in too much of a hurry to share such an awesome invention, maybe I should've done a quick search first.

Thank you very much for the product!

EDIT: Somehow, I'd completely missed all discussion on tarsnap.

Glad you like it!

If you like Tarsnap, you should really take a peak at the authors crypto/security blog at http://www.daemonology.net/blog/. He wrote scrypt, and I've made http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2009-06-11-cryptographic-rig... required reading for my development staff.
