How much data and what's your monthly cost? I have a 2TB storage VPS for under $10/month. rsync.net looks very good but is possibly total overkill for my needs. Definitely don't need >1 snapshot/day as that's what my hourly local backup is for.

It's a bit more expensive than most options but the price does vary by how much of your data is duplicated. At the mo I have 1TB of data being backed up but it squashes down to under 550GB with borg. Monthly price for me is about $17 (paid yearly though).

I'm happy with the extra price for my use, but yeah it's not the best option if you have a lot of unduplicated data.

If you're interested, here's the link to the borg/attic pricing page: http://www.rsync.net/products/attic.html

Can I ask where you got the VPS? That's a really great price for 2TB!

At present I'm using a provider in Lithuania called time4vps. Overall the service is good (assuming you are connecting from Europe) but to use their website I have to disable my ad-blocking & privacy add-ons, which I don't have to do on other providers' sites. Not sure why that is.

I'll probably try Delimiter once they start offering service in London, as they also have some similar low cost + high storage plans.
