JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

I've seen Arq come highly recommended as an alternative to Duplicati - seems to do mostly the same thing but is commercial ($50) with support. Seems a good bit more user friendly than Duplicati (which can involve a fair bit of computer janitoring).

As far as cloud hosting for backups goes, I found Backblaze B2 to be prohibitively slow from Europe - we're talking uploads at like 150-200 kB/s here IIRC, and I'm on a symmetric gigabit connection. After crunching some numbers I went for Google Cloud Storage instead with the "coldline" storage tier. It's more expensive than Backblaze but uploading at 15 rather than 0.15 MB/s is worth it to me.

I use b2. For some reason they cap per-thread upload speed. You need to add threads until your uplink is saturated
