So, what's wrong with a tape backup drive and a box (for the tapes)? My dataset's 6gb. I currently use zfs incremental and full snapshots to generate a single file per backup to save.<p>There are two issues I haven't seen addressed:<p>(1) No guarantee of privacy: all my data's on someone else's box. I haven't seen any of them go to court to defend a person's data yet. And this isn't a phone log or URL list, it's <i>everything</i> <i>they</i> <i>have</i>. Backup privacy is not an area where you screw around.<p>(2) Upload bandwidth. Most network links available anywhere I've lived are asymmetric, with a massive bias downlink-side. Uplink speeds are still measured in 100s of kilobits/sec. $160/month bought me 1.5 mb down, and 768kb up, with a static ip.<p>I'd rather run my dataset through gpg and write it out to tape.
