Their comparison section looks like an advertisement for Backblaze B2. C14 looked interesting until I got to that part. Now, I'm not sure why I would choose C14 over Backblaze.

Yeah, it's pretty silly to say "no military risk" about any single location. Yes, France is as geopolitically stable location as there is on Earth, but it's also part of NATO and NATO has rivals, like Russia and China, with whom they may go to war with in the future. France has been invaded in the past, and may be again. If you're really concerned about possibilities like that, you should be storing your data redunda…

I think there may be something missing in the comparison table. When I look at the prices of Backblaze, https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-providers.html it is $0.05 for 1 mo but in the table on the website of C14, it's written "free"

#67It took me a few seconds to realize they're located in Paris and the French call their bytes "octets" -- hence, giga octets and tera octets. At first I thought it was something like "80 Go instances" where Go might be a cheap vps variant of theirs or something.

#68I am confused: what is the "Cost of Operation"? Is that a one-time fee? For 1.3 TB of data, they are quoting something like 2.58 per month and 12.88 "Cost of operation". Also, can I use this with duplicity?

For Glacier I believe the download is not free? You need pay for the retrieval of stored data.

#70This looks great and seems feature-rich enough to get started with straight away! I'll definitely check it out for server backups over scp. My only suggestion is that you have a native English speaker proofread the text on your website. There are a few grammatical and translation errors which make the service seem less professional.
