[GLLUG] offsite backup recommendations?

[tid]

I use tarsnap[1] for commercial projects, Crashplan for personal laptops (5
in my house including children) and AWS S3 for short-lived stuff.

Crashplan home is going away so I'll probably move to Carbonite at the end
of my contract period.

S3 is pricy, but useful for current client work. Tarsnap is great for
longterm archival, and is just rsync/ssh under the hood.

regards,

Tid
