I had a pretty good experience with Backblaze. I tried out Crashplan and Carbonite but they by default don't upload some of the file types and sizes I needed.

My problem with backblaze is that it takes soooo long to backup everything. It's got a good version control setup and web interface, but seriously, it took like 2 or 3 months before it had at least 80% of my data on their servers.

Out of interest, how much data were you backing up? I ask since if I were to go for a cloud-backup, I'd be doing 3-4TB. Thanks.

I've found its typically limited by my upload speed (ADSL2+ at 100kb/s up), took me a few months for a couple of hundred GB.

~1.5TB

Like the other user said, it is limited by speed + there is a cap of amount you can backup per day
