I've been meaning to setup an offsite online backup for some of my *nix /home dir as well as My Documents folder on windows and I was wondering what services any of my fellow Cemetech members have used/tried.
I know Carbonite has some restrictions on file size for their consumer plans that I wasn't a huge fan of but other than that they looked decent.
Tarsnap looks rather interesting and their pricing model seems to make a lot of sense as well as their use of AWS. The lack of a native windows client is a bit of a let down but I can always have windows mirror to my file server and then have tarsnap grab it from there.
Any other services people have tried and/or would recommend?
