I've been using tarsnap as a backup tool for a small NGO, especially backing up DB. I take a dump of the DB every 2 hours (we have almost 1k users now) and send it over.
The biggest pain is that it now takes ages to list archives. I think i have like 1500 of them. But otherwise: i'm really glad tarsnap exists.
I deposited $5 in november and have $4.673539677478560010 left (i'm pretty sure Colin can now tell who i am, using the unique amount of picodollars)
My stats now:
pawwer@pro16:~$ tarsnap --print-stats --humanize-numbers
Total size Compressed size
All archives 137 GB 42 GB
(unique data) 2.0 GB 489 MB
pawwer@pro16:~$ tarsnap --list-archives | wc -l

Thanks, Colin. It's a great service.
However, i backup my personal photos someplace else, tarsnap is a bit pricey for that. You can get backblaze for $0.005 / GB month with free transfer, so i use that.
