I'm guessing that this wouldn't be competitive in the market at a higher price point? From a personal viewpoint if I was going to pay for a backup service i'd be open to paying more. I guess free alternatives would make that hard to be a competitive business move though?

There are certainly backup services which are more expensive than tarsnap -- Mozy, for example, charges $0.50/GB, and rsync.net charges $2.10/GB for their georedundant storage (which is probably still far less reliable than the backing storage for tarsnap). But I don't particularly want to find out exactly how much I can gouge my customers; I'd prefer to have a comfortable profit margin and hope that reasonable prices result in more people using tarsnap.
