I like Arq, use it as a "real, offsite" backup complement to Time Machine. Not quite as fire-and-forget as Time Machine, but darn close!

And the format of the stored data is available, which is a nice safety feature in case of major problems.

Love arq too. Rumor has it arq 5 will also stop eating up free space with its cache.noindex folder. Excited about that!

True! It uses sqlite databases (finally). (I work at Haystack Software :)

Bah, I guess hosting a site at digitalocean isn't suitable for HN front page? Even WP super cache isn't saving me.
