Dropbox doesn't have completing, fixed interval backups and has fairly buggy, heavy, intrusive software (on linux). Google/Microsoft's services don't have differential backups and their software is generally lacking.
Rsync.net promises exactly what I want, but at 6/gb ($60/mo for 1 tb) it's 5x more expensive than Dropbox so I'm manually hacking around Dropbox's offering for the moment.
- vitalysh 10y agoI've been using rclone (http://rclone.org/ http://rclone.org/) + AWS CloudDrive form my home backups. Currently storing around 4TB for just 60eur/year. Perfect setup for me personally.
- bckygldstn 10y agoMe too, and I've tried a lot of setups before settling on this. I can download faster from Amazon drive than reading from a USB 2.0 hard drive, and rclone makes it easy to keep important documents in sync on both services as well as locally.
- rsync 10y agoIf you're interested in using 'borg' (you should be) you can use this link to sign up for a 3 cent account that is just like a normal rsync.net account, but has our server-side snapshot creation/retention turned off (the thinking is that smart borg-using people set up their own retention, with borg): https://www.rsync.net/signup/signup_offer.html?code=f0a35f https://www.rsync.net/signup/signup_offer.html?code=f0a35f If you do, however, want an rsync.net account with full snapshotting enabled, etc., you can use our long-standing HN-readers discount, which is currently 4 cents: https://www.rsync.net/signup/signup_offer.html?code=710b50 https://www.rsync.net/signup/signup_offer.html?code=710b50 I hope that helps - we'd be very happy to serve you with our product.
