"Why not S3?" S3 is a great solution and we have nothing negative to say about it. I will note that our special 'borg' pricing gets you down to 3 cents, and we charge nothing for usage/bandwidth/transfer, so pricing-wise, we're about the same. The main thing that differs (and this is important to some people) between S3 and rsync.net is that rsync.net gives you an honest to god blank unix filesystem to do what you please with. So while there are many very nice tools that target S3 natively, you can't do magical things like this: pg_dump -U postgres db | ssh user@rsync.net "dd of=db_dump"
ssh user@rsync.net "git clone git://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git freebsd"
ssh user@rsync.net "test -f fileThatExists"
ssh user@rsync.net du -Ahd2 some/directory
Although it's worth noting that we do maintain 's3cmd' in our environment, so you can do things like this: ssh user@rsync.net s3cmd get s3://rsync/mscdex.exe
