For full folder backups, duplicity [1] has been great for me, does incremental backups, and has quite a few backends. You control rotation policies, full-snapshot frequency, etc, and bring your own storage (works with s3, rsync, etc.). Full-folder recovery is also pretty easy in my experience. The downside is that it's all on you to configure providers, pay for storage, and I'm not aware of any indexing or ability to retrieve single files. Also, it's CLI-based, so it might not be very intuitive for desktop use. Still, a free solution with lots of utility. :-) [1] http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ http://duplicity.nongnu.org/

The issue with these for me is that with the common cloud storage providers, even just backing up my Documents folder raises it above the price of BackBlaze or a similar offering.

  if you're willing to pay 50€/year, you could get a hubic[1] subscription for a 10TB cloud storage. i haven't tested it myself though, just heard about it. Its supposidly possible to share this account with friends, because duplicity backups are GPG encrypted. [1] https://hubic.com/en/offers/storage-10tb https://hubic.com/en/offers/storage-10tb

    Hubic has an unpublished 10Mbps upload speed limit [1][2], which should be sufficient for most backups, but is still something worth taking note of.

  Duplicity can backup to Backblaze's B2 service, which is an S3-alike where you only pay for storage and download, not upload. 40$ to restore backup in the case of a failed disk, and a few bucks a month (literally) for storage.

  Anyone have any experience with Sia? $2 per Terabyte-month sounds really attractive.

    I dont't think there's an easy way to push incremental backups into Sia
