$50/year and you have to provide your own storage? Can somebody explain to me how they are competitive, i.e. in comparison with Crashplan or Backblaze? edit: my bad, it's $50 for one time purchase, not a year.
It also has no wireless.
On the features page, https://www.arqbackup.com/features/, under "Limit Network Impact", the image lists whether to use all wireless or no wireless.
I don't have the software so I can't confirm.
Bah, I guess hosting a site at digitalocean isn't suitable for HN front page? Even WP super cache isn't saving me.
Just throw it behind CloudFlare quick, they'll cache it and you'll be set. They're pretty reputable for free speech and fighting for their customers too, so I trust them to a decent degree.
How is this, from a technical point of view, more advanced than running rsync in a regular fashion (with hardlinks to keep cheap snapshots)? Just wondering about the technical aspects.

Although the application itself is not open source, the developer has open-sourced a restore tool, to help ease the "what if they go out of business" concerns:

Also, somebody else has created a Go utility that can read the backup format:

Finally, if you really wanted to do it all yourself, the data format is documented here:
I like that I can backup to multiple destinations (AWS S3/Glacier, Dropbox, Google Drive, even my own server via SFTP). IMO you can never have too many backups.
I use it along with Backblaze (and will be setting up Time Machine & Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner this week, after putting it off forever).
Congrats to the Haystack team!

For Kloudsec, all you have to do is to update your A records to point to the CDN IP.

I find it a bit ironic that this particular blog has an inaccessible database at this particular time. This being put aside I find their pricing a bit excessive in comparison to Backblaze for example.
