What is your definition of "service" that makes tarsnap - a company that asks you to pay them over time to provide an, uh, service - not one?

- lucb1e 5y agoIndeed. Restic is just something you apt install and nobody provides you any service (you have to organise your storage space yourself); tarsnap is not simply free to use for yourself with your own storage. (Not saying it has to be free, but that's what makes it the definition of a service you have to purchase.)
