Hmm.  A TFM file is larger than it says it is!

If you want to exploit the free and fast space available from gmail as a backup but what it to be "big brother" safe just use encfs on top of gmailfs.

Install gmailfs and encfs and follow these steps:

• copy in ~/.gmailfs.conf and customize with your preferences:

[connection]
# The proxy URL
#proxy = http://user:pass@proxyhost:port
# or just 
#proxy = http://proxyhost:port
# The number or retries for the proxy connection.
#retries = 3

[account]
username = yourgmailusername
password = yourgmailpassword
[filesystem]
fsname = anythingyouwant
[references]
# reference = filesystem:username:password
[logs]
# Change this to DEBUG for verbose output (useful for debugging)
level = INFO
# if you'd like logs to go to stdout, comment out this variable.
# For logging to, say, stderr, use /dev/stderr of your system's
# equivalent for it
logfile = ~/.gmailfs.log

• then create ~/gmailfs

• execute /sbin/mount.gmailfs /usr/bin/gmailfs.py ~/gmail/ && encfs ~/gmail/enc/ ~/enc/

Now everything you copy in your local ~/enc will be encryted in your gmail account. :)

Update: current ubuntu version has some problem. I suggest you to use latest version.
