Anybody knows an "unlimited" storage (backup) provider for Linux?
Hello everyone!
I'm searching for one of those provider who offers an unlimited storage plan that works under Linux. Since I'm talking about a headless server I need a command line tool to upload my data.
I know unlimited doesn't really exist, but you got the idea 
Thanks!

Dropbox for Business $15/user/mo unlimited
Thanks! Dropbox looks like a solid choice! I'm also checking out CrashPlan that offers unlimited backup for 60 $ per year
What do you think about it?
All I ever see about CradhPlan is endless complaints about how slow it is.
Min 5 users, 1TB team "start" limit - ask for more space
Yeah, that's what I saw. Min 5 users and the price was around 600 € per year.
was about to say BackBlaze, but saw they only support Windows and Mac, maybe CrashPlan? Seems like a good choice if it is for backup.
Amazon Cloud
That would be perfect but I live in Europe
No problem signing up here (the netherlands)
I tried a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't do it. I'll retry
Mh..I tried and failed. When I click on the "free 3 months trial" it redirects me to my basic account in Italian.
Any suggestions?

It's not unlimited, but the pricing is quite good and they do data de-duplication and compression before your snapshots are uploaded.
If you're just backing up a web server without gigs of video or images, it's a great choice.
Thank you for the advise DeftNerd but I have in mind to backup a lot of video and photos.
Regarding Amazon Unlimited Cloud, I wrote to Amazon and they told me that the service is still not available in Europe. I really don't understand how vfuse got it
Works here, maybe not available in Italy yet. It's also listed on their .co.uk site.
Is 10TB not enough? https://hubic.com/en/offers/
vfuse thanks again for your answer. I live in Belgium, I don't know why I wasn't able to subscribe
Patrick thanks for that! I knew hubic and I must say that this offer jumped in the top of my list.
$250/TB. I would not consider this good pricing except if you are storing only a few GBs. Not to speak of paying another $250 just to restore that TB of data.
For small needs it could be ok, but nothing you can't do with a little VPS and rdiff-backup.
If Amazon Cloud Drive had a better API, it would have been awesome.
They have one of the best REST'ful API's out there. Right now we could easily use
curlto upload data if we were so inclined.Now we just need a nice FUSE implementation
(I know one already exists, I said nice)
Your expectations from such an API is amazingly low. Do you know it doesn't support delta uploads?
Obviously you can use
curl- you can do that with anyrestapi. That's whatrestis about - doing things via http methods in a standardized way.Onedrive not unlimited but 10 TB (you can request more) for $70/year (office 365 family)
use onedrive-d to backup your data.
+1 for hubic. try this http://mir7.ovh.net/ovh-applications/hubic/hubiC-Linux/2.1.0/ for cli upload tool
my backup seems fine

Not to say they will throw you with HTTP 502 error with large file uploading....for they need to hash the file, which would take toooooo long that the API just committed suicide.
Also I do not like the way they are listing the file...it's absolutely pointless.
