One of the new features of 11.3 is SpiderOak integration:

Has anyone tried it yet. I just ran the setup and it seemed very easy to get going. I'm looking forward to using it.
I've been using it for several months.... it's running on all my computers (mix of 11.2, 11.3 and Ubuntu). I've set it up to backup certain directories on each machine, and share one directory as common (so that if I'm on my desktop or laptop or netbook etc., I have the same content on each one). It's working great.
One thing you do need to be careful of... or aware of - and this is discussed a fair bit on the SpiderOak forums - is your disk space on the SpiderOak servers can fill up rather quickly if you are using it to manage a lot of files.. or large files. There is some bug in how it handles deleted files on the server side, and your count of available space is sometimes not credited back for deleted files... they are working on a fix (according to what I read on their forums).... so if you're using the 2GB space heavily, you may want to browse the SpiderOak forums and read up on the problem and the workaround. I haven't run into the issue yet since my use is well under 2GB.

Can I have multiple SpiderOak accounts on one PC? ie. My office PC has both company and personal docs I'd like to keep separate. My home PC has docs for my wife's one woman company, and she has a netbook dedicated to it. But it also has my personal docs. So the optimum for me would be 3 SpiderOak accounts and 5 (or more) PCs using it, but having some computers on 2 different accounts based on the folder I'm working in.
