As a not incredibly impressed customer of Crashplan, I switched to rclone/duplicati and Amazon Cloud Drive for these and other reasons. The price is the same, and you can use whatever client you want.

Are rclone and duplicati yet more deduplicating backup programs? we now have: - rclone - duplicati - rdiff-backup - duplicity - attic - borg - bup - zbackup - ...? I'd love to see a comparison of these because right now I have zero idea which one(s) I should use for any given purpose.

  Can't speak for the others but I use duplicati and send the backups to my unlimited google drive. I like that it encrypts and gives you the key vs some app saying they encrypt it.

  I don't know all of them, but I know some. * zbackup: Appears to be unmaintained, superseded by attic/borg. * attic: deduplicating backup repository. Doesn't seem actively maintained anymore either. * borg: deduplicating backup repository. I used this recently. It's cool, but the performance is disappointing. It's single-threaded. I got into the GitHub a little bit and they seem committed to their current way of doing things, which makes it hard for an external multithreaded compressor to take over (everything is processed in 2 MB chunks). * rclone: Meant to provide an rsync-like interface to any cloud backend * duplicity: Automatically performs encrypted, compressed delta-enabled backups, but requires some upfront configuration. Been using this for years. * rdiff-backup: Haven't used, but it seems more like an ad-hoc backup utility for "I want to keep an old version of this folder". Duplicity seems like a better choice for disk-scale backups.

  BTW, rclone, duplicati, duplicity, and others now support Backblaze B2: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html
