Now that Crashplan is eliminating their home user plan, and also the free peer-to-peer system, I'm in the market for some new cloud backup. Most solutions are about double the cost of what CrashPlan home was. Someone suggested I look at the Backblaze B2 cloud storage system, and a tool like duply/duplicity as an interface into it. The prices seem great to me. They charge .5 cents (real cents, unlike Verizon!) a GB per month for storage, and 2 cents/GB for downloading, which seem reasonable to me. B2 has versioning as well, and if you use duplicity to rsync up to it, it can work as a decent backup system I think.
Do any of you have experience with Backblaze B2, and have any of you used duplicity to automate and script your backups? Also are there any other tools for doing a peer to peer backup to a friend in a remote location, much like crashplan free did? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
