Re: Backup of OpenBSD under VMware

Last resort shut down VM then backup.

I like the tool called tarsnap. It backs up to a remote service and you keep a private key. Everything is encrypted before it "exits" your VM for the remote side. Also very cheap.

I only backup a few files and spent barely a penny.
