Setting up borg + rclone + B2 took me about an hour to set up and zero time since then. Something like Duplicati or Duplicacy makes it even simpler. I'll agree that tarsnap is still 'simpler' since I guess maybe it takes 15 mins to set up versus an hour, but I'm still surprised that someone would consider the 45 minutes saved to be worth possibly hundreds/thousands of extra dollars in backup costs. >Also your method might be much cheaper, but tarsnap is still very inexpensive for most use cases. So how much actual money is saved vs. the effort level put in? What are the use cases you use tarsnap for? Is tarsnap only used for small amounts of data or something? I guess I just cannot get over the hurdle that tarsnap seems obscenely priced given the cost of storage these days. You can get 2TB of storage for ~$120/yr on something like Dropbox/B2/Google Drive/etc. That same 2TB would cost six thousand dollars a year on tarsnap!!
