Speaking of excellent services with high price tags, I also use tarsnap

Looks nice except for two issues: a) unix, bsd, !cygwin!, etc, and b) me not liking that almost religious trust in amazons DCs. Sure, amazon knows a thing or two about DCs but still, that's involving and relying on a 3rd party stack and a fat one at that.

You mean that shitty abstraction layer that still can't pipe after 23 years? Yeah, I've heard of it.

I don't understand your point (a).

"Tarsnap runs on UNIX-like operating systems (BSD, Linux, MacOS X, Cygwin, etc). " sounds seriously strange to me. But OK, granted that's just me and subjective.

But (b) is seriously questionable. The proposition "for 3 amazon DCs (of the good old kind!) to fail is virtually impossible" (my subsumption) isn't suggesting anything good to me; i.a. it boils down to tarsnap being but a gadget on top of the real core which is completely outside of tarsnaps control.
