Any news on this. What has happened?

Synctus itself is defunct now, although ddar (which grew out of Synctus) lives on. The host running the website is in dire need of security updates, so after suspicious activity I disabled everything and haven't got round to putting the ddar page back up somewhere else.

Can you tell me what is missing that you cannot get from this Github repo please? I'm thinking about just not bothering with a website and using the Github page as the primary location instead.

Ah. I see. I was just curious and tried to follow the

For details, see: http://www.synctus.com/ddar/.

link in README.markdown.

The README contains no information on how ddar works or how to use it, but I guess I can build the manpage and look at that :)

Oh, thanks. I will need to fix that.

For now, how about: http://web.archive.org/web/20131209161307/http://www.synctus.com/ddar/

Right, had forgot about archive.org. Thanks!

I've now read it, and the information there is great. Would be good to bring it over as wiki pages here on GitHub, or as a GitHub Pages site, including the comparisons with tarsnap/rsync-backup.

If you could enable the wiki or generate a GitHub Pages site through the repo Settings, I could help with bringing the content over from archive.org if you want.

Agreed with @estan, above. I too would help migrating over to a GitHub Pages site or wiki, if you fancy.

FYI, since the web pages are clean and simple, it would probably be very straightforward indeed to convert them to Markdown format and migrate them here.

alexreg avatar Nov 20 '14 02:11 alexreg

Okay, I was bored so I went ahead and did the conversion to wiki for you! Here it is in my fork: https://github.com/alexreg/ddar/wiki

You can just pull from the repo for that wiki, to get it on the official project, I believe.

@alexreg

Pulled into here. Thanks!

I'll leave this issue open to remind me to set up www.synctus.com/ddar somewhere else and redirect to the wiki.

basak avatar Nov 27 '14 13:11 basak

No problem. And yes, sounds like a good idea to do that redirect. I might have left in one or two links to the Synctus website in the wiki too; I didn’t know how you wanted to alter those sentences.
