Craig, it’s the bloody editor that keeps converting some characters to their html-entities screwing up stuff. The links should hopefully bring you to the right place now. Let me know if it doesn’t.

Hi Patrik,

Excellent article, however I seem to be having an issue importing the SSL certificate, the command I am having trouble with is (as I can see it):

wget -O – “https://support.comodo.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=downloadfile&

Can you offer any advice on this?

I really recommend you to give it a try. I’m using rsync to backup my photo collection to Humyo. There were some glitches forcing me to tune the options of rsync to avoid syncing data which was already on the server. I think it could have had something to do with permissions and ownerships of the files. My final rsync command was:
rsync -qavu –no-p /home/storage/pictures /mnt/humyo

I had a look at s3 as well but I ended up with this solution in the end. Both JungleDisk http://www.jungledisk.com and s3sync http://www.s3rsync.com allow you to backup you files to s3 storage.

Thanks for providing a great service! Regarding the use_expect100 value this is what it says in the man pages:

use_expect100
To avoid uploading big files that will be refused by the
server, mount.davfs uses the header expect: 100-continue to get
the o.k. from the server before uploading. Not all servers
understand this. 0 = no, 1 = yes.
Default: 0

So, in recent versions this value should already be set to zero.

Great writeup, I might actually try to do this to back up my photos from Bubba to an online server.

I’d love to be able to hook Bubba up directly to Amazon s3 though. Having said that their costs start to stack up with lots of data.

Thank you Patrik for posting such a helpful tutorial about mounting humyo under linux with WebDAV.

A little extra note about your DavFS2 config ideally you should also override the default value for “use_expect100″ to zero.

As we have found this helps Debian and Ubuntu connect to our WebDAV service.
