Crashplan for home. Still haven't found another unlimited plan with linux client.

Yeah, same boat here. Currently using the discounted small business version. Not sure what I'm going to do once that expires. I haven't decide whether it's worth the time investment to use something open source like https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy with eg Backblaze B2, or if I'll just bite the bullet and pay the full $10/month for Crashplan SB.

  I moved to Duplicacy with paid Google Drive backing store. Very very happy. Unlimited storage with Linux client, and doesn't have the horrible resource consumption of Crashplan. (I paid for Crashplan SB for a while but dropped it when it was unable to restore my data. Test your restores!)

  After using the discounted small business version till this month I finally moved my backup to: restic [0] + B2. It was really just a 30m job and I have a setup that backups 4 times a day and prunes etc twice a week. You might want to checkout their forum if you need any help. I had tried Borg and duplicity [1] too but found restic to be perfect for my need. I also have Tarsnap[2] for the double backup of my most important data.

Came here to say this... had various family members using it, clients, etc. Backblaze's "we don't support Linux desktops because they'll abuse it" policy is pretty annoying, in context.

  I miss the multiple destinations and "backup to another computer on the same lan" feature. Had mutual between the grandparent's computers, an attached USB hdd and then both to the cloud. Easy. :/ Switched them over to Duplicati + b2 and it's much cheaper for the amount of storage they're using. Still safe in a catastrophe but regular "oh I deleted that file" restoring won't be so fast. edit: oh and the continuous backup thing and monitoring emails if it stops working was nice

Backblaze B2 supported by several linux clients I believe. https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/217664628-How-does-Backblaze-support-Linux-Users- https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/217664628-How-d... B2 is not unlimited by at $0.005/GB it's pretty cheap.
