We’ve updated our earlier howto JungleDisk for Linux Server Backups without X11 for the latest version of JungleDisk, 1.50.
- The new version is more reliable for transferring lots of files, and rsync works better.
- Rsync’s —archive flag now works as expected (though you still need —inplace).
- jungledisk now uses Fuse directly rather than davfs, so prerequisites are different
- The command-line jungledisk program now mounts by itself
- The configuration file gets a bunch of new options
So check out our updated instructions for configuring JungleDisk 1.50 from the command line.
Still clinging to the past? The you can read our original instructions for JungleDisk versions 1.30 to 1.40.

So you want to use Git the latest hotness in distributed version control. It builds easily using the instructions in the INSTALL file.
But on Centos 5 (or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5) there are some dependencies to install first:
sudo apt-get install gettext-devel expat-devel curl-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel

JungleDisk is another great entrant in the online backup business. Unlike Mozy, our favorite for Macs and PCs, JungleDisk also runs on Linux. And, since version 1.30a, it ships a command-line version.
Which means you can give your Linux servers reliable online backup — stored on Amazon’s S3.
These instructions cover version 1.50 — which has a different config file and a number of settings than previous versions. If you’re still using an older version, see the instructions for version 1.30 or 1.40 that we published a while back.
Meanwhile, let’s get down to business with version 1.50. Our server install has three parts:
- JungleDisk command line program, which makes S3 look like a WebDav server
- Fuse, which makes WebDav look like a regular Linux filesystem
- rsync, the standard Linux power copy program
You’ve got rsync, and the other two aren’t much harder to install.
