Oh, okay, that makes sense. Probably some super-secure online backup service...

Wow, that's... extremely clear. That's literally everything I wanted to know, save for maybe pricing...

...never mind. This is extremely clear.
I could keep going, but as far as copy, this website is excellent. And even the design could be considered a plus given your target audience.
Though if Tarsnap ever gets a GUI, I would suggest giving the website one as well :)

I agree with your assessment of Tarsnap's website and had a quick look at my firm's website. Whilst we haven't sprouted web2arrhoea bootstrapped bollocks ... yet, I'll be having words with my marketing bods tomorrow.
