I recently launched a backup service for Borg – https://www.borgbase.com. Also big on monitoring (email, pushover, webhook), as this is a common concern for backups.

It just lacks terminal-based registration. :-) You could use the GraphQL API to manage everything from the command line if you really wanted.

This looks pretty cool, well done! I use rsync.net and am very satisfied, but yours looks great as well. I'm not a big fan of the initial price hike (the first 100 GB is 2 cents per GB instead of 1), but it looks like the service is well worth it.

This looks good, and competitively priced too! What's the backend cloud storage?

Just guessing here but probably Backblaze b2? It has a similar pricing.

Currently it's on RAID boxes, but I'll move to CephFS soon. The data volume is getting too big to copy it around. Ceph allows you to nicely expand your storage over time and account for some failures on the way.

Borg needs a "smart" backend with a filesystem, so it can't use only object-storage.

I've been using borgbase for a couple of weeks and am very happy with it.

Is there a limit to how many times I can download my backups?

No limits. Downloads are unmetered and free, as long as they look reasonable. Once you download your full backup every hour, I'll ask you for a reason probably.
