Well, fuck.

Let the suggestions begin - who should I switch to? Bonus points if moving data to a newly purchased hard drive isn't a terrifying process that looks like it's losing all of my backups, as well as Linux/Windows/Mac support.

I'm kinda partial to Arq with your choice of cloud storage. I heard that they don't support moving backup data between destinations though so I'm going to have to re-evaluate my choices when my Amazon Drive unlimited subscription comes to an end as well.

We need a p2p backup solution. Something like what wuala used to be but open source and distributed. Give up 1TB of local space to get ~750GB offsite, or something like that.

Isn't that FileCoin?

You might need a p2p backup solution where your computer is part of the network, but I want a me2idontcare solution, where I give up dollars, and gain gigabytes offsite.

I want a boring solution, written by a boring company, that very boringly stores my files.

Tarsnap. Seriously.

I don't suppose there's a Windows client?

Only about 1000 USD per month for what I have in Crashplan - I think I'll give it a pass.

GAH! How much are you storing in crash plan? 1000USD/mo seems a little insane. Is that after deduplication with tarsnap?

My data is already deduplicated - it's mostly video by volume. Total is in the region of 4T.
