Backup service with support for Linux

[ultrakomm]

Hi!

I'm looking for some sort of service that will allow me to backup a couple of 100GB of photos and documents to the "cloud". Something like CrashPlan, but that has proper support for Linux (i.e. a real headless client) and preferably isn't written in Java.

I've been looking around for quite a while without finding such a service. Anyone care to point me in the right direction? Pricing is an issue as well.

R1 ?

What's wrong with Crashplan? Works great on linux and even Solaris flavors. Sure you need to port forward the GUI for headless setups but I end up needing to do that like once a year.

If you don't need fancy backup features and are just looking to offload offsite you could go direct to Amazon S3 or wrap that in some scripts to get more features.

Crashplan doesn't officially support headless configuration. Also no longer supporting solaris based systems either.

Just use a service that supports Rsync over SSH. There are any number of vendors that will supply it for 20 cents per gig per month or less. I currently back up over 25 terabytes of data for my clients to a server I keep at a colo. My cost including space, power, bandwidth and amortizing the hardware (over 4 years) is ~3 cents per gig per month.
