Syncthing: Open Source Dropbox and BitTorrent Sync Replacement

I am very happy with the timemachine backup on my mac, but I have been looking for a good offsite backup solution so that I can trade storage with my family in case something happens to my house. This might finally be the right option. BT Sync seemed ok, but was more than I wanted my parents to try and setup.

Their cloud storage for backups is really cheap if you have a lot to back up and want them to handle your off-site too.

Thanks. That looks like a good fit, and the paid plans are probably less than I would spend on a set of external drives anyway. I will give it a try.
