This is my question too. Tarsnap is cool, and Colin deserves to get paid for his hard work, but the cost differential is far too much for me to use tarsnap right now. If they cut their costs in half, I'd be able to afford to use them over raw S3.

Tarsnap's deduplication makes it even cheaper than it would seem. Considering what you're buying, Tarsnap is already ridiculously underpriced.

Is tarsnap's dedupe any better than bup or obnam? The competition has not stood still since tarsnap came out.
