What I mean is that the backuppc pool will reside on an AES encrypted
file system.

Would like to know if people have comments on the backup
strategy/security. Project is looking to backup about 10 machines, two
of them servers, and main reason for backup is to keep them offsite &
immune from disasters like sudden power or machine failure that is
frequent in the user environment.

Well, yes...600$ is the maximum expected bid for the
project...100-600$. Actually, on sites like this one people from
around the world are bidding & I find that difference between bids
from developed/high wage countries is two to five times higher than
bids from people in developing/low wage countries. In many cases,
people beginning at a new site or starting in outsourcing take
projects at a lower cost, to build their reputation at that site.

I have had people from Eastern Europe/CIS outbid even programmers from
my own country, India. In the end, its all market forces. India was
the cheapest in the start, now we're in the middle due to rapid wage
escalations.

Maybe I'll have to increase the bid price...let's see.
