I'm fortunate to only depend on a single platform, Linux in my case, so I rent a 1TB vps[0] to whom I rsync[1] every day . Then depending on the criticality of the service I'm backing up I create weekly/daily/monthly snapshots (rdiff-backup). I encrypt sensitive data using symmetric aes 256 (gpg).

Have you ever tried something like borg backup[1] or attic? (The latter is kinda abandoned)

I thought I was getting a great deal, I'm paying $11.50/mo for 200 GB (at RamNode) but 1TB for €3.49/mo is insane. Are there any US-based hosts that offer these kinds of prices?


Wow, those VPS are really cheap for the amount of storage - what are the upload speeds like?


Ah, never mind - I was reading the bandwidth allowance as available storage! So the prices aren't anything special afterall.
