Shawn Blanc on Off-Site Backups →
Shawn has a great detailed write up of his experience with various off-site backup solutions. I recommend you give it a full read. For those in a hurry here is an excerpt of his conclusion:
All this to say, it is a good idea to have an offsite backup, and I recommend using a cloud-based service because it’s easy to set up and easy to keep up to date.
Backblaze and CrashPlan both work well and are very affordable. If you have lots and lots of irreplaceable data (more than 100 GBs) then you may want to use these guys because the monthly costs will be lower and they’ll send you a drive with your stuff on it to recover.
However, if you care about having granular control, better data centers, higher encryption of your data, and/or you don’t have that much to back up, then Arq is a great solution.
