Will second that. I've been using the OS X build of Duplicati for a while now to backup via SCP and it works flawlessly. And, yes, I did test restoring some files from time to time with it. Note that the new "Duplicati 2.0" is no longer based on duplicity as far as I understand but a complete rewrite. It also uses a completely different backup architecture which should avoid / lessen the need for regular "full backups". I backup to a 1 TB storage VPS from time4vps.eu, which at 72 EUR for two years is also much cheaper than Crashplan which I used before (and which seemed to be far more resource hungry on my Mac). Only downside of Duplicati in my opinion is that it performs daily backups not "real-time" backups as some others do. On the other hand, the post above asks for a "full service solution", in that case I would probably still recommend CrashPlan - it also supports local encryption with your own encryption keys and has been very reliable for me as well.

Wow, time4vps.eu is even cheaper than hetzner for storage. Definitely going to be testing them out for my cloud storage needs.

  They are not, check out Hubic - 10TB for 49€ year

    Hubic may be interesting for personal use but it's unsuitable for commercial use, which is my actual goal. I need something which I can buy in bulk and scales into PB range. For example the hubic contract [1] states that bandwidth is limited to 10 Mbit/s upstream and downstream. Compare this to 400 Mbps dedicated port speed for each Storage server at time4vps.eu. Indeed, time4vps.eu offers 32 TB of bandwidth per month with the 4 TB storage plan, while hubic's 10 Mbit/s means that even if I transfer 24/7 for the whole month I'll only be able to transfer 3.3 TB of the 10 TB they offer. For heavy personal use something like Amazon Drive [2] is probably a better choice, because it offers unlimited storage for $60/year. People on reddit are saying they have hundreds of TBs stored with no complaints. -- [1] https://hubic.com/en/contracts/Contrat_hubiC_2014.pdf https://hubic.com/en/contracts/Contrat_hubiC_2014.pdf [2] https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/ https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/
