Seriously, consider writing a client for Windows and your business should increase 10 folds.

  Tarsnap will support windows eventually. But seriously, if Tarsnap usage increases tenfold overnight, the service will collapse under the load the following morning. Making sure that the service keeps running smoothly takes priority over attracting new users.

    I like you, and I like your service. I especially like that your service is clearly designed to be a successful operating business rather than a 'sell it to google' startup. I wish you much success.

      It's pure selfishness, really. I use Tarsnap, and lots of my friends do too. If I sold Tarsnap and ran, I wouldn't have good backups any more, and I would have a lot of ex-friends upset with me for not taking better care of their backups. :-)
