SpiderOak 6.0

SpiderOak Inc. - ( Freeware)

The best protection of sensitive information is encryption of data online and SpiderOak can be very useful in this matter.

SpiderOak is a software product that offers users to store on a remote server their sensitive data. The application allows to synchronize on any computer, regardless of operating system. SpiderOak offers a different approach to traditional online backup solution by combining a suite of services, including online backup, synchronization, sharing and remote access in a single tool. SpiderOak has a flexibility to manage any type of data on any operating system from any storage device through a single account.

The creation of an account is required to use online backup, 2GB of storage being offered.

SpiderOak uses a strong encryption algorithm for secure file sharing. The software keeps a copy so that, if necessary, the user can restore deleted files later.

- Modernized look and feel of UI on Linux, Windows, and Mac.
- New name: SpiderOakONE (We also provide a SpiderOak backup and sync product for Groups and another for Enterprise. This name change was necessary to reduce confusion going forward.)
- New branding consistent with SpiderOak.com (new logo, icons, etc.)
- Mac OS X now uses an installer rather than a drag-and-drop install.
- New feature: Clear Upload Queue. In case you change your mind about uploading that Blu-ray disc image
- Automatic recovery from time traveling clients. You probably don't need to worry about this if you don't use SpiderOak inside a virtual machine with snapshots that you restore to. Time travel is the situation when, for example, the client moves "back in time" relative to the server. For example if you run SpiderOakONE inside a Virtual Machine and then restore that Virtual Machine to an earlier snapshot, then continue using the earlier snapshot. In this case, the server is now "ahead" of the client. The client has already backed up newer versions of things that it now no longer knows about. The client will detect this situation and wait up to 24-36 hours in case the user soon returns to the later snapshot. If the time travel situation persists, the client will automatically re-sync with the server and continue the backup without interruption. In this scenario, files that were created exclusively in the "future" VM snapshot would be preserved by SpiderOak as deleted items.
- Updated SpiderOak Hive startup guide.
- Improvements to space accounting.
- Upgraded toolchain with updates to Qt, PyQT, Python and OpenSSL.
- Along with the new name, paths to executables have changed. On Linux systems a symlink is placed in the previous location so cron jobs and such will continue to operate.
- Similarly, names of some Windows registry keys have changed.
- Application data has moved depending on OS: Mac uses ~/Library/Application Support/SpiderOak if you've been a user prior to 6.0 and ~/Library/Application Support/SpiderOakONE if you started with 6.0. Linux uses ~/.config/SpiderOakONE, and Windows uses %LOCALAPPDATA%\SpiderOak\SpiderOakONE.
- Some under the hood changes paving the way for new features in 6.1.
- Fix to Windows MSI installer to disallow installing the 32 bit application alongside a 64 bit application.
- Fixed an issue on Linux that would sometimes prevent multiple users of a local machine from using SpiderOak concurrently.
- Retired support for Mac OS X Lion (10.7). Current Mac OS X is 10.10, and allegedly only 0.04% of Mac users are currently 3 major OS versions behind.
