  Thanks Liviu,

Sorry I missed your reply.  So many messages to the list.

One of the articles I read said that spideroak is less than 
straightforward to set up.  Do you find that to be true?  Also, what of 
their security model?  In my case, an accident like Dropbox had 
(Customer 1 being able to read Customer 2's files) could be devastating 
to the Customers and cost me my job.  Not a risk I am willing to take.
