I've had issues on (10.10 and 10.11) where FileVault 2 (FDE) irrevocably corrupts some metadata and it cannot be fixed by Disk Utility. (It "works", but performance is terrible and free space is wrong.) Reinstalling by rsyncing latest backup to recreating volumes fixes it. Also, the usual popular, secure rsync-like service: tarsnap ( https://www.tarsnap.com/ https://www.tarsnap.com/ ) brew install tarsnap https://github.com/pieter/Tarsnap-OS-X-GUI https://github.com/pieter/Tarsnap-OS-X-GUI https://github.com/BTBurke/tarsnap-backup-osx https://github.com/BTBurke/tarsnap-backup-osx Generally: Probably want to validate exclusion of big files for remote backups like VMs, caches, tmp dirs, swap/hibernate files to cut costs, unless they're important / service (&& internet) is cheap (BackBlaze).
