There's much cheaper pricing here: http://rsync.net/products/attic.html http://rsync.net/products/attic.html 0.03 USD instead of 0.08 USD. Beating even their top tier -- so long as you follow the constraints mentioned within the link.

Important bit to point out: > - filesystem snapshots are disabled since you'll be doing versioning and retention with attic or borg. So this means you actually aren't protected from someone taking over your backup server and running rm -rf * on your rsync account.

That looks very nice, I've been looking for places to put my backups, though I'm using Restic, is there any information on supporting that? Their documentation/faq pages don't work properly...

At 0.03 (1tb = $30/mo) it's still much more expensive than pretty much every other service mentioned in this thread.

  Yes but it's the only service that supports running the attic/borg server :(

    We're also the only service that allows you to 'zfs send' to a remote zpool.

    Well, pretty much any BSD/Linux storage server can run it; today even low-end appliances can do it (with some patience - no prebuilt ARM binaries), and of course any kind of server you can rent. Borg 1.2 (~end of 2017, early 2018 perhaps -- wild guess) will include pluggable transfer/storage backends (certainty >98 %).

  I was surprised to learn about amazon cloud drive which is "unlimited" - which probably means they'll randomly turn it off if you actually use it - free egress traffic makes it much cheaper than s3. Worth nothing that rsync.net pricing includes transfer: "No other costs. No contracts. All transfer/bandwidth/usage is free.". Looking at https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-providers.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-providers.html - all services charge more than 3 cents/gb if you actually need to restore from backup. Now, that doesn't mean rsync.net isn't expensive for many use-cases -- but not as bad as the up front cost difference appears.

    Using Amazon Cloud Drive for commercial purposes is prohibited. Also, in my experience it is far less reliable than AWS with random unavailable, slowness and API errors.
