borg backup.[1]

It's a remote backup tool that solved all the problems. It's basically duplicity[2] but without the unfortunate design fault of having to re-upload all your data every few months.

Our[3] customers love it and we see new deployments of it (even among existing customers) every single day.

Wow. I've been using duplicity and dealing with that same issue. Thank you.

I sometimes tell myself I should spend less time browsing HN comments but then I find little nuggets like this that really make it worthwhile.
