When Full-Disk Encryption Goes Wrong

Arq is another great alternative, which combined with Amazon Unlimited Cloud Storage, gives you the same benefits as Tarsnap for orders of magnitude less.

Are you talking about this? $59.99/year? https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/home

And while I've got your attention, 1) are Arq backups encrypted and 2) can it back up via SSH to my own storage somewhere - like a cheap VPS with lots of disk space?

1) Yes. The format and encryption specifics are even documented: https://www.arqbackup.com/arq_data_format.txt

2) Yes. Although if you're after cheap space, Hetzner's storage boxes are the cheapest $/GB I've seen (https://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produktmatrix/storagebox-prod...), with Backblaze B2 close behind.

Any suggestions for an arq like software for linux? Something that does encryption, dedupe, and can target anything.
