Rsync.net: discounted "borg accounts" for technically proficient users
- cl3misch 3y agoThere are discounted accounts on rsync.net which don't give you a true shell, but do support borg backup. I have been using them for my main long-term offsite backup for years.
- eightyfive 3y agoThe linked page completely omits that you’re not simply saving money by forgoing technical support; expert accounts are also Single Region instead of auto-replicated. You don’t find out about that detail until you visit the pricing page. Presumably that’s what actually accounts for the reduced price.
- graemep 3y agoIt is is lot cheaper than single region with technical support. There are four pricing levels - single region and auto replicated to second region, each of which can be with or without support. It is not much of a saving per GB, but it has a much lower minimum (200GB rather than 800GB). What I cannot see is whether it allows sub accounts which are (or used to be) free with the with service option.
- eternityforest 3y agoI was wondering how replication worked there!
- eternityforest 3y agoI just switched from Back in Time to Vorta and am super impressed with the technology. It's fast, easy, and deduplicates. Pretty much perfect!
- mcsniff 3y agoHave been using this for a while with Vorta (a Borg client), the compression keeps me within the limits and I've been very satisfied with the serice for the cost. +1 from me.
- kurtoid 3y agoI had a brief moment of panic when I read the title as "discontinued" instead of "discounted"
