>Tarsnap: Online Backups for the Truly Paranoid

Oh, okay, that makes sense. Probably some super-secure online backup service...

>Encryption: Your data can only be accessed with your personal keys. We can't access your data even if we wanted to! >Source code: The client code is available. You don't need to trust us; you can check the encryption yourself! >Deduplication: Only the unique data between your current files and encrypted archives is uploaded.

Wow, that's... extremely clear. That's literally everything I wanted to know, save for maybe pricing...

>Storage: 250 picodollars / byte-month of encoded data >Bandwidth: 250 picodollars / byte of encoded data

...aha, it's something confusing!

>($0.25 / GB-month)

...never mind. This is extremely clear.

I could keep going, but as far as copy, this website is excellent. And even the design could be considered a plus given your target audience.

Though if Tarsnap ever gets a GUI, I would suggest giving the website one as well :)

I agree with your assessment of Tarsnap's website and had a quick look at my firm's website. Whilst we haven't sprouted web2arrhoea bootstrapped bollocks ... yet, I'll be having words with my marketing bods tomorrow.
