Current opinion is that "borg" is the holy grail of backup schemes ... it takes attic, which fixed all of the duplicity shortcomings, and improved on that ... [1]

We[2][3] tend to agree with that.

One reason it might not work for you is that we are an order of magnitude more expensive than B2, so perhaps that's a better bet for you. On the other hand, $7.20 per year for our smallest borg account is almost as close to zero as your B2 minimum order would be, so ... who knows.

One upside of choosing our service is that you can choose your location (US, Zurich, HK, etc.)

Please don't do that, its childish and unimpressive.

There's no support for that service. Makes sense to ward people off who might need support at the headline.
Just to be clear, there is no support for the deeply discounted borg/attic accounts at rsync.net.

Regular rsync.net accounts have full, unlimited support provided by a US-based engineer. As in, an honest to god unix engineer. Sometimes, but rarely, me.
