I've just released version v1.2-20091123 of SQL Server Compressed Backup which is an open source project for backing up SQL Server databases using either gzip, zip or bzip2 compression. Read more for the list of changes and links to the project.

The idea behind Taban is that an web application will simply use HTTP methods (GET, PUT and DELETE) to perform the usual CRUD operations required for persistence, but using JSON as the data exchange format. Taban is (will be) implemented as OSGi bundles and will call out to/depend on a number of OSGi services. db4o is to provide the default implementation of the database.

Sorta like a couch except smaller and outside, also, a client side JSON document store. Perfect for webkit mobile apps that need a lightweight, simple and elegant persistence solution.
